The 4th annual Baja Nomad Dia de Reyes Toy Drive will be held in Rosarito Beach at the Corona Plaza Hotel on January 10, 2010. We have adopted in the
name of all of you Baja Nomads 257 needy children that if not for you all will not have a gift this holiday season. The list is a follows:
Ages 3-4 1 boy, 2 girls
Ages 5-6 3 boys 2 girls
Ages 7-8 30 boys, 20 girls
Ages 9-10 35 Boys, 30 girls
Ages 11-12 33 boys, 35 girls
Ages 13-14 20 boys, 20 girls and
Ages 14-15 12 boys and 14 girls
We have received a generous donation of 37 bycicles so we are only short a mere 220 gifts. We will have, the same as in past years tamales, frijoles
and hot chocolate for all the children and of course the traditional Rosca de Reyes.
Times are tough, we know because it's the same everywere but we are confident that with God and your help we will be able to provide for these kids
abundantly.
I am calling on all Rosarito area Nomads especialy so you can join us for this exciting event.
As every year some of you can not send a gift or find it easyer to make a donation, I am always hesitant with this because of ovoius reasons but this
year we have more than double the children as before and there are always extra ones that show up and since it will be in a hotel in Rosarito, many if
not all of them will be bused down there.
So with this in mind and since we don't have a tamale donor, we are requesting that if you can find it in your posibilities please send us your
donations to a special Paypal account with the email toydrive2010@ultimatebaja.com
Just go to paypal.com once in go to "Send Money", click on "Send money online", a new window opens and there you paste " toydrive2010@ultimatebaja.com ",
then your email, ammount and at the bottom go to Personal, then mark "Gift" and then a new window opens were you can use a credit card or your own
Paypal. https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&c...
Thank you very much and for those interested in mailing or dropping of a gift, it will be at the same location,
Miss Nidia Puerto is our main contact person.

Glad to hear the donations line is up and running again this year, Fernando. It's nice to know that all my dinero can go to toys or other necessities
for the celebration instead of to postage.
Yep these are stressful times financially for many, but I'll bet we each will get a Christmas present. Why not ask a loved one to make your present a
donation to this toy drive. I've done that in the past with excellent results.... I awaken Christmas morning with the understanding that light has
been brought into the life of a child - and that's all the gift I need.
Try it, amigos.... you might have the same experience as me.

BAJA IS WHAT YOU WANTED TO BE, FUN,DANGEROUS,INCREDIBLE, REMOTE, EXOTIC..JUST GO AND HAVE FUN.....
I can't say were they are from exactly but they are not from one single area, they are from Blvd 2000 area, Tecate, Tijuana and only a few from
Rosarito, that is why we will be busing them down there.

So glad to hear that it has grown again this year! In a hotel as well, a far cry from the little church a few years back!There's going to be a lot of
happy kids.
This year, it's a lot more kids. Please everyone, see what you can do to help us gain further visibility in your community with this. I appreciate
your consideration.

Just sent in my donation via PayPal. It looks like I will be going to Baja right around new years or so. Anyone in the NoCal area who wants me to
take toys down to Ferna for them let me know via U2U and I'll send you my address or we can arrange to meet up.
I can do a paypal of around $100 and you can purchase what is most needed or I can purchase some items that I think will be well received and send
them to you.
My question is~ would you rather have a little cash to do some last minute....or even basic shopping?.... or some gifts for a specific "child
profile"?
What is the best use of the dollars available?
Thank you to those working on the project for those who smile on that day............
