Since we're 3 days into this year, I thought it'd be a good idea to go ahead and write my New Year's rezzies:
Be more green
Not to procrastinate (so much)
Excersize and eat healthier
Think before I say things
Be more involved in charity events
Having added the last one just now, here's one of the first things I want to be involved in: The 3 Day Susan G Komen walk for the cure!
Who's with me?! I would love to start a team from Rocky Point to do this altogether in AZ!

ROCKY POINT CHRISTMAS CHARITY DRIVE
This year's Rocky Point Christmas charity drive is going to be bigger and better than ever! Here is a map to the event, but if you don't read maps (like moi) here are the directions:Just take Simon Morua East to the Cemetary then go right at cemetery & take immediate left then follow east for 9 blocks.
If you aren't doing anything tomorrow, then you should come out to this event - we are able to help so many needy families that are less fortunate - it's an awesome thing! Last year, we helped 1000 families. This year, we've been blessed to afford to help 1500!! Its a great event for a great cause. We're starting tomorrow morning at 10:00am if you can make it.
See you there!

ROCKY POINT CHRISTMAS CHARITY HELP
We need help packing bags for this year's Rocky Point Christmas charity event! Below are details from Mary Snyder on how you help!
Date: Thurs Dec 11th Time: 11 am (right after the AMPI meeting)Place: Miguel's warehouse
Directions: From the stop light at Calle 13 and Luis Encinas (old Realty Execs office), go north (toward Mr Rocky's) 2 blocks and turn left, go 1 block.
Can't miss it..it's rust with cantera stone, on the corner. Dress warm if it's cold with comfy shoes. Last yr we finished in about 4 hrs with about 35 people.
This year we're doing 1500 bags instead of 1000, so help us find as many people as we can. It was a fun time and completely rewarding. Please help us give back!
Pizza and drinks will be provided.

ROCKY POINT CHRISTMAS CHARITY DRIVE PRE EVENT BAG STUFFING
Here is a map to the bag stuffing event going on this Thursday at 11am for the Rocky Point Christmas charity event! See everyone there!
TELETON MEXICO
I don't know why I haven't blogged about the Teleton, the largest charity event that goes on here in Mexico in December - I think it might be over, but you can still donate on their website: http://www2.teleton.org.mx/evento-teleton/Here's the general idea of the great things that the Teleton does:
"Telethon is a project of national unity, which, through the values like love, generosity and solidarity, has managed to summon all of Mexico with the firm intention of promoting a better quality of life for children and youth with disabilities.
Teleton represents an opportunity to renew confidence in people and in institutions, symbolizes the unity and commitment of various sectors of society around this social cause."
So far, they've raised $442,974,150 pesos!

ROCKY POINT BUSINESS OWNERS
Attention all business owners here in Rocky Point!
Mark your calenders and, please RSVP when you know you are coming.
There will be a silent auction to benifit the animal shelter's needs for food, etc. And three weeks from now THE THIRSTY PARROT hosts THE UNCOMMON WOMEN and we have good interest in the event.
So far, we have donated a pedicure, massage, four books written by one of our own, a CD by a local artist, a necklace, dinner for four, a huge bottle of wine AND WE HOPE MORE.
Let me know as soon as you can what you might donate to auction on so that I pass it on the Cathi, and she can prepare the auction sheet.
The Thirsty Parrot will be hosting free margaritas (water and /or juices for the non drinkers). We will also have a no host full bar. Several appetizers will be offered from 5:30 to 6:30 and then a very special dinner served beginning at 6:30. Please come hungry. The only cost to you will be $5 per person to cover the cost of the dinner, which will be all you can eat (AND dessert).
Mark your calenders and, please RSVP when you know you are coming.
What a great cause! If you want to donate, please email me at: mynparty@yahoo.com.mx!

ANOTHER GREAT CAUSE
We just received this email from Liane Armstrong as a reminder of a great charity drive she's putting on in conjunction with the Black Dog on Fremont Blvd:
We are collecting for the CIDA Men’s Rehab Center here in Penasco. As time is very short now, I am sending a reminder of things that we still need.
You can drop things off at “The Black Dog Restaurant and Bar” on Blvd. Fremont.If you are having a problem with delivery, please call me or email me and we will come and pick up your donation.
These are things we are collecting:
Any gift that a woman would like to receive as a gift from her beau.

Any gift that a woman would like to receive as a gift from her beau.
Ex: Perfumes, jewelry, lotions—new or barely used - Socks, gloves, scarves, hats – for all ages - children to adults - Gift Bags, tissue paper, and Ribbon – lots of ribbon
Of course, money always works, too!
I started my “little” project comparatively late. It has grown to a “big” project quite quickly. Last count looks like there will be approx. 300+ adults and 200 kids. Way more than we thought. We are preparing 10 turkeys, dressing, potatoes & gravy. We are hoping we will have enough. Each family is to bring food and beverage. On Christmas Eve, if you find yourself here with nothing to do, please come and participate. I am sure we can find something for you to do, and it should be fun and very rewarding. There will be live music, Santa Claus, and hopefully lots of good food!
This facility operates totally on donations. They can use anything and everything that it takes to run a household. There is not AC in the summer and no heat in the winter. So warm clothes and blankets are necessary, especially right now. Space heaters now and fans in the summer. They have one stove and they feed 100-150 men 3 times a day, 7 days a week. It is a good place and they seem to do a good job.
Your help and generosity will be appreciated by many. Thank you in advance from myself and all the ones involved at CIDA. THANKS TO YOU who have already made some awesome contributions. It has been very fulfilling to be associated with so many warm and generous people!
If you have any questions, please call me at 638-107-7164 mex cell or email.I will be in Phx on Thursday, please call 480-250-2202 US cell. My vonage phone is 602-635-2147, If I don't answer please leave a message.
Thanks again,
HOPE YOU HAVE A HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON,
