Jazz & Wine Under the Palms
By Susan Allenbaugh
Visualize a balmy July afternoon under the palms listening to jazz. Add to that picture wine tasting and an appetizer buffet. This is Las Damas de
Cantamar's image of how to raise money for the Baja Animal Sanctuary (BAS).
Saturday, July 21, at Ruben's Palm Grill (K49) Mario Martinez & Session will perform jazz, bossa, and pop from 2:00-6:00 to soothe the nerves.
LA Cetto will serve up a 5-glass wine tasting, and Ruben will cleanse the palate with an appetizer buffet.
For $20 you get all of this plus a chance at the door prize.
Local merchants are also supplying prizes for a special raffle.
How about making it a weekend of fun helping BAS?
*The Baja Animal Sanctuary Mission:
To provide a safe haven for the abused, abandoned and needy animals who enter our gates, to eliminate their suffering, to improve their quality of
life, to reduce pet overpopulation by spaying and neutering, and to find them permanent, safe, loving homes.
About the Baja Animal Sanctuary
The Baja Animal Sanctuary is located in Rosarito, Mexico, just 22 miles south of the San Ysidro border.
The sanctuary was founded by Sunny Benedict, a native New Yorker who was working in Real Estate in Rosarito.
rom her office window, Sunny would see the local animals, mangy and starving roaming the streets in search of anyone who might toss them a morsel of
food, or give them a kind pat on the head.
She knew she had to do something. With a mere $180.00 she gathered from friends, she turned her dream into reality and started the Baja Animal
Sanctuary.
BAS, the only no-kill shelter in northern Mexico, provides a safe haven for dogs, cats, and presently, one beautiful horse.
Rescued from the streets of Mexico, they now receive food, medical care, and love for the rest of their lives.
Once the puppies are old enough, or the sick ones are well enough they are spayed/neutered.
Their ultimate goal is to find each and every one of them a forever home. When this can't be accomplished, since we are a no-kill shelter, the
animals that are "un-adoptable" will make BAS their permanent home.
In some extreme cases, untreatable dogs and cats are euthanized to put an end to their pain and/or suffering.
