New relief collection point
Martina Dobesh is a reporter for the Gringo Gazette and is doing a story for the paper and helping with hurricane relief efforts in Rosarito. She
asked that I forward this information to my email list which I have. I also thought this board might be interested in her information. The
devastation in Mulege from Hurricane John is terrible with homeless and there is a huge problem with mosquitoes. Anyone can help either by buying
cases of mosquito repellant or cash donation, or just taking a truck down with clothing. I have established a new email to handle the networking in
Northern Baja. Nancy from GG is sponsoring the truck runs. For more information
ayduamulege@yahoo.com
Joanna Jones Gallery, KM 47.6, just north of the Cantamar off ramp and the Palm Restaurant. 661-614-0823, in Rosarito is putting on a Mulege Relief
Day, Sept 30, so people can drop things off and network future help.(THIS JUST MIGHT FILL THE BILL FOR THOSE WHO CAN’T TAKE THE STUFF ALL THE WAY
DOWN THEMSELVES.
They will accept donations on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
Send all interested inquiries to ayudamulege@yahoo.com. We will be directed from those on site as to what is needed and where other drop sites are
located. Also, we are looking for people after the 30th to drive their van on truck with what we collect.
We are also looking for a small plane that mosquito repellant can be flown in. More later.

Joanna Jones Gallery should be advised that the Rosarito Ensenada Bike Ride is that same day - September 30th. The free road that goes by Cantamar
will be completely closed from mid-morning to the mid-afternoon. They should really think about doing it the following weekend......

Foolish me, but I personally believe that getting aid to people who've been devastated by tremendous loss would & SHOULD take precedence over a
"bike ride". Maybe the bike people could see their way clear to leaving an access route open to the drop off point!! Sliding humanitarian efforts a
week just doesn't seem like a real compassionate thing to do!

I understand your sentiments and wish that were the case longlegs, but it is more complicated than that. The bike ride is a huge event that involves
close to 10,000 riders and takes months to plan with complete closure of the old road stretching from Rosarito to Ensenada. All I was trying to say is
that nobody will be able to get through that day once the ride begins. Perhaps the gallery could do it a week earlier?
However, I also see this as an opportunity to make a bigger difference in the relief efforts. We could try to get the word out to the bike riders and
spectators and encourage them to bring items to donate at the ride start and at the after party. I think we could get some great results from that.
Thoughts?

I think that's a terrific idea....gain from one for the other, as opposed to ignore or delay one for the other! Who knows the promoters of the ride
to find out if they have the inclination to do this & could get the word out to participants?

Great idea, Geoff, and you are so right about trying to alter the course at this late date. There is simply no way to allow vehicles onto the free
road during the race......it could be it's own disaster.
But whatever logistical means were going to collect it at the gallery and the Palms would likely be overwhelmed if it gets included within the bike
race agenda. You will have to account for that.

Our company is a sponsor of the ride and I have already contacted the ride organizer about arranging a donation drop for Friday and Saturday at the
Rosarito Beach Hotel where the ride starts. I will let you know as soon as I hear something. I will be there the entire weekend starting Friday, so I
will be able to collect and take the clothing donations to the gallery on Sunday.

Revised Address to Register as a person/family affected by the flood:
Americans & others with losses need to make a formal statement to authorities.(in Spanish- translation is avail) to qualify for subsequent
assistance.
Can be very simple:
"I am_ . I own the prop at __________. (bring proof if avail)
I lost the house & THESE POSSESSIONS:___________________________
The local official Agent is Lic.Maria Isela Nunez Marquez
location is now at Ministerio Publico on the Main St across from Pemex Station in town. You will get a stamped certificate REGISTERING that you were
here and lost property. This will be the only “proof” that will be considered in the future for any future relief emanating from Fed Gov in Mx City.
If you have a Mx Company (ies) get one for each in addition to personally.

Good news! Bicycling West has agreed to help out with the Hurricane John relief efforts and have already sent out an email to the participating
riders. Baja Bound will be sending out an email to our database as well. On Saturday September 30th, donation bins will be at the Will Call booth
before the ride begins (10 am). Will Call will be located in the courtyard of the Rosarito Beach Hotel. Additional donation bins will be at the
Information Booth at the Finish Line Fiesta in Ensenada.
