PUERTO PENASCO IS SAFE - TOWN MEETING TODAY AT 4
Just a quick reminder that our next Uniting Peñasco Meeting on Thursday, March 26, at 4 p.m. in the auditorium across from City Municipal Building. The State of Sonora has a new Secretary of Tourism, Luis Carlos Soto, who will be joining us for the meeting. We believe it is very important for everyone to attend this meeting and welcome Mr. Soto as well as let him see that we desire his assistance in helping us promote our great city.
Just as importantly, we will be hearing updates from the committees that have met as to what steps are being taken to deal with the issues we discussed at last month’s meeting.
Please pass the word. I’ve attached the information form for you to pass along to others – we need everyone’s participation. As a dear friend recently reminded me - “Rome wasn’t built in a day” – so we need to persevere but we are making incredible progress.
See you at 4 p.m.!
MYN'S 24TH ON THE 25TH

UNCOMMON WOMEN ON COMMON GROUND
Rosie is working hard on getting us a venue for next month and it looks like a great time shaping up for a beach bash in June. Stay tuned. Meanwhile, we would like some input as to your favorite charities. We are tossing some ideas around to host a bingo night to benefit ????????
ROCKY POINT COMMUNITY - COME THROUGH
Dear Friends,
If you have been to the Black Dog, chances are that you know Maria Elena Grajeda Amavizta. This lovely lady has been a fixture at the Black Dog for a long, long time and is loved by many.
Recently Maria Elena was diagnosed with an enlarged heart and a severe kidney problem. In fact, doctors in Hermosillo have determined that it is imperative that she have her kidney removed as soon as possible. Vickie has generously continued to pay her wages during her illness, but something must be done to help pay for the surgery. In times like these, when we all have stuff going on, it’s important to remember that if we have our health, if our family is well, we are blessed. Also, what better way to get in touch with that which is most important than to help another? I’m very proud of being part of this community. You guys always come through.
We are scheduling a dinner at the Black Dog for the purposes of raising funds. Vickie is contributing all the food so that 100% of the money raised will go to pay for the medical expenses. Please join us on Thursday, April 2nd at 4:00pm for a benefit dinner. All drinks will be at Happy Hour prices, Pablo will be singing, and at $20 per person, we can band together and do a good thing. Tickets can be purchased in advance at the ProAlliance office, The Black Dog, or The Rocky Point Times office.
Thank you all.
Rosie Glover
LAZY SUNDAY...
I will get you caught up on all the scoop in Rocky Point today, so stay tuned!

GORP WRAP UP + 4 WEEK HIATUS
Secondly a GREAT BIG THANK YOU to Myaann Roland. Myaann publishes the popular local blog for RP, mynparty.blogspot.com. In addition to being one of our beautiful calendar models, Myaann will also be serving as our local editor and contributor for GORP, as we add more content containing more local news and events not related to the calendar. Myaann worked very hard on the last contest, making it a huge success, and we look forward to working with her on not only the main shoot in April, but on many other future endeavors.
I feel so humbled by this (thanks for spelling my name right!) - I just don't know what to say...stay tuned for more on GORP, Chango's, and the girls...
ANOTHER GREAT BY GK - MYN'S 24TH ON THE 25TH

This Wednesday, March 25th marks the day that a blogger was born...okay, okay, before it turns mushy, lemme just say that I appriciate YOU, my dear reader so much - thank you for all the love and support you've shown me, thanks for passing on my link...thanks for bearing with me when I haven't posted in 3 or 4 days, or I just toss you the weather report to tide you over...thanks for all your comments, your pictures, your advice - it is humbling.
I invite all of you out on Wednesday to Capone's around 9pm, where I will be taking over the bar with my crew from the sunset cruise!

PINK CADILLAC MIRADOR ROCKY POINT
ROCKY POINT IS SAFE AND WE HAVE CLEAN AIR!
RPT needs to capitalize on its wonderful pure air vs the Valley's worsening bad air. One in 7 residents (per the Am. Lung Assn.) are said to be afflicted by the Brown Cloud and/or the Bad Ozone. I'm one of them, which is why Las Conchas has been my principal residence for the past 9 years.There's a combination of ignorance and denial going on here...the bad air affects folks with allergies, asthma, sinus trouble and more serious pulmonary diseases.Years ago, Andy Chersin publicized his Playa Hermosa (near the Plaza Penasco site) as a "pollen free" escape from the Valley.If you get on their alert list, you can help hammer the point home...and do your readers a favor in the process!
Best,
Jim Hamblin
Now, if you've talked to me in the past week, you've heard my stuffy nose and aweful hacking cough, so I can't exactly say that you DON'T get sick in RP, but it's a whole heck of a lot less than in Phoenix!
Stay tuned for more info...

A NOTE FROM THE THIRSTY PARROT
GET YOUR GIGGLE ON
Richard clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem. As he was walking away, I called after him, "So, what was wrong?" He replied, "It was an ID ten T error." I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired, "An, ID ten T error? What's that? In case I need to fix it again." Richard grinned. "Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?" "No," I replied. "Write it down," he said, "and I think you'll figure it out."
So I wrote down: I D 1 0 T I used to like the little !!@#$%*@!!
