      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last week the mothers of the Montessori School here in LB put on a dinner
to raise money for a new roof over the play area at the school. They were
able to raise about 20,000 local coco's which is just under half of what
is needed. They now have some local businesses donating cement and
re-bar. They need to raise another 25,000 coco's to get the job done.
You may make a donation through Dennis, myself or take directly to Amanda
at the Montessori. Amanda is the principal and Denis's daughter. Be
generous.
I am throwing in an offshore fishing trip for two. This is open bidding
and opening bid is 3000 local coco's. You may bid by email at
wylie@ida.net  or call me on my cell at 624 182 2609.
=====================================

If you're giving a party and need equipment contact Profe Daniel at the Escuela Secondaria during the day at 624-141-0748 or at his casa 612-138-5072 after 5pm. We have used Daniel and his sound equipment at our Festival de Artes events for the past few years and have found him to be very professional and always on time. Daniel now has more than sound equipment He has tables, chairs, ice chests, table cloths and lighting. When you come to the Festival de Artes on Sunday, March 28, you will have an opportunity to talk to Daniel about what you may need for your next party....JoAnn
========================================

The Art Festival is Sunday, the 28 of March at Rancho BuenaVista. Please do not bring your dogs to the Art Festival. No dogs will be allowed on the grounds. we do not want to have ask you to take your dogs home...We know your dog is perfect and would not pee on someone's art for sale, or where someone has to walk in it. But other people have dogs that might!! ALMA will have some dogs in cages..Thanks...The Assoc De Artes
====================================

       NEW WAY TO SEND MONEY TO DENNIS RILEY -PAYDENNIS
First of all I hope this note finds you and yours well and happy. As you know it has always been at times difficult or expensive to get money to your account when not here in Baja and was the reason for getting the account with the Texas bank. Nowadays though the banks have become impossible with their exorbitant fees for doing anything and even the Domestic wires have become costly.
       Well I now have an agreement with the bank to accept all personal checks received through the mail and they will credited to my account the same day received. That will eliminate the need for the wire or the ten day waiting period previously required for checks. Of course if you are of such mind or circumstances warrant you may still send the wire no problem. Of course all that glitters is not gold and there will still be a five dollar charge per wire or check which is very manageable as you have to pay six dollars here for a foreign check. Each day the Bank will send me a report of checks received and I will then acknowledge receipt of such by email to you.
       Now all you need to do to make a deposit is send a check, made out to Dennis C. Riley, and place my account #, 0657263 on the back side and I should have notice of the deposit within three days. Easy and much less expensive! The only difference in sending a wire from a check will be in adding a P.O box to the address.
Of course any questions will gladly be answered by me or my staff so feel free to contact us by email or phone.
Starting April one please send checks to the following address:
Dennis C. Riley
c/o Inter National Bank
P.O Box 1719
McAllen, TX 78505
Sincerely,
Dennis

Cell Phone Discussion

a. Today, I called the telcel office, *264, and they informed me that if I was NOT a Mexican National, I would have to go to the Telcel office in person, closest one is in San Jose, Mexico 1 at KM 31, between Profesora Angela Cecena and Barlovento and register your cell phone. You will need your passport. There is no phone number and I talked with a representative of Telcel personally, and this is the ONLY way you can register you cell phone so that you are not terminated on April 10, 2010. If you are a Mexican National you can register you cell phone through the internet and/or your cell phone. All other will have to make an appearance with your passport to the office mentioned above.

b. check out: http://www.sanfelipelife.com/post/Registering-a-Mexican-cellphone-with-RENAUT  for an excellent explanation.
Mexican cell phones purchased & activated after April 2009 were registered at the time of purchase/activation. Mexican cell phones purchased & activated before April 2009 need to be registered.

c. On the Telcel website home page, there is a video that shows you exactly what to text on your phone to register your cel phone. Just click on the video. It's in Spanish but it's pretty simple to understand. I guess this works so you don't have to make a trip to their office and don't obviously have to show a passport.
