DISCUSSIONS – ANSWERS – ANNOUNCEMENTS

1.  Bienvenidos 2021!  Let’s begin the New Year with a big recycling effort to dispose of excess holiday debris, along with the usual recyclables, at Baja’s Resort at East Cape on Thursday, January 7th, 9-11 a.m. Did you know that simple wrapping paper (give it the “crunch test” by squishing it) can be recycled but foil or glitter-decorated paper cannot?  Tissue paper cannot be recycled; it is often made from already recycled material and can’t be further processed. * New for 2021, please separate your plastics into 3 categories:  Milk and milky style containers, Clear plastics, Colored plastics and lids. 
   
   Bring your crushed/rinsed plastics, aluminum, metals & cardboard/paper broken down and bundled (sorry, no glass) and a $100 peso donation/household. Volunteers are always welcome…ONE hour is all that we ask. Bring a hat, gloves, and a smile. 
   
   Join us in keeping our community and planet safe and beautiful while keeping ourselves safe by wearing a mask, social distancing and frequent hand washing while at the Recycling Center as the risk of covid contagion persists.  https://www.eastcaperecycling.com/ – info@eastcaperecycling.com

Thank you for your donations to help the students of the East Cape with High School Education. Donations large and small matter. Education Matters..

2. ExotiKite Kiteboarding Wind Report | December 13-December 19 | This past week, winds were light and variable.  Early week, clouds rolled in holding stronger winds at bay.  Light breezes allowed more experienced foilboarders to get on the water, but it was too light for many kiteboarders.  Winds remained light until Saturday as they picked up to 18-20mph, even sending sand flying down the beach in some of the more powerful gusts.  This upcoming Christmas week the set up is very much the same with the forecast calling for clouds and light winds early week.  Wednesday/Thursday look like the best days to get on the water with forecasted winds in the high teens.  There is still time to gift a kiteboarding lesson to the wind enthusiast in your life!  Contact info@exotikite.com or +1 541 380 0948 for details. Happy Holidays from our family to yours!
