===============================================

Baja Marionettes is preparing a performance for your viewing pleasure. We will have the first performance at the Buenes Aires RV Park, located off the beach access road on Datil Street .(Btween the two arroyo north of LB) This play will start at 10:00am on Wednesday the 28th of Dec.. Followed by a performance in Los Barriles, same day, 11:30am with a location to be determined. I will keep the BPE posted once a location has been established. Thank you for your continued support of this event. Kay
========================================

DIF in Los Barriles will be holding their annual Day of the Kings Fiesta for the local children on Monday, January 9th. They are asking the local community to help them ensure that every child will get a gift at this event. They will be open from 8:30 - 2:30 starting January 3rd to accept gifts and donations to buy gifts for the kids. The DIF office is located across from Tio Pablo's; next to the Cancha.
(Can someone find out if the gifts need to be wrapped or unwrapped?
)
===============================================

Criminals have a method of changing the Caller ID on your phone to reflect the names of Financial Institutions. The bad guys will call, you will look at the Caller ID and think your bank is calling. The caller will pretend that your account may be a victim of fraud. They will ask you to verify/give them account information. Shortly thereafter you account will be emptied. If someone calls you concerning any financial information, call them with a number that you have used and trust!!! I received a computer generated call from my bank concerning a change in a normal monthly charge. Instead of verifying with that call, I called the bank. That one was a legitimate call. Be careful.

======================================================

Environmental activist, former member of Sea Shepherd crew from Whale Wars program on Animal Planet, Deborah Bassett will be holding a private screening of "The Cove" movie. In the area for just a couple weeks, she will be following the movie with Questions/Answers regarding the filming of the movie and the current efforts involved with Marine conservation. This documentary won an Oscar for best documentary in 2009. There will be no charge, and a silent auction will held for local products. All proceeds and donations will be going directly to The Dolphin Project. Showing will be held Friday December 30th at Palmas de Cortez Convention room, 6:00 pm. Drink specials and snacks.
===============================================

Just a remainder : The Catholic Church rummage sale.

It's that time a year for cleaning and poking through those corners for items that you no longer need, because the Catholic Church "Segrada Familia" is having there annual rummage sale on February 5/2012. Donations of any kind will be greatly appreciated. Please, also save any kind and size of plastic bags and hangers. Drop off at Mengia's house "Casa Del Sol" not at the church, because of the fire I can't use there storage place.  Call me first at 141-0052 or contact me by e-mail:mengia@juno.com  I am also very happy to drop by your place and pick it up. Thank you in advance. Mengia
==================================================

Last week we ordered chili rellenos, empanadas and chicken enchiladas for a dinner party of eight in Los Barriles from Joaquina Higuera. The food was the best Mexican cuisine we have eaten and it was ready exactly when we said we would pick it up. Also very reasonably priced, 400 pesos total. We highly recommend Joaquina, her phone number is 141-0641. She does not speak English, so if you need help with the language barrier, you can call Kay Mundt at 141-0418 to help place your order. Sandy Johnston 141-0429

THUMBS UP - ANSWERS - DISCUSSIONS- This category must have name and/or email address.

a.  A huge thank you to Paul and Kay Ann for finding my prescription sunglasses and returning them to me!! People are so kind here and the BPE is a wonderful part of this community. Feliz Navidad to all in BPE land and especially to Paul and Kay Ann. Muchas gracias. Betsy Shepard

b.  It's been requested that I publish in BPE any info I received about health insurance while in Mexico. Most of the replys suggested checking w/ my supplemental insurance for 'emergency' coverage. I did this and sure enough my supplemental has a $50,000. limit coverage for emergency type hospital/medical coverage while out of the US. Medicare does not cover outside US. One person suggested Fredy Braverman  866-376-2289
fredy@caboinsurance.com
https://www.caboinsurance.com/home/  who is supposed to offer many options. Another person suggested "I have IMG insurance, 1-800-628-4664, is cheaper www.onlinewww.imglobal.com , is worldwide travel insurance that will be accepted here in our area for sure by Blue MedicalNet, main office on the corridor SJ-Cabo and probably Amerimed and others. Is called Patriot Travel Medical Insurance". I have not investigated these two. Hope this helps any one else looking for insurance answers. thanks for everyone's help.
