It TOOK place in San Diego, on Saturday, December 11, 2010 from 5:00PM to 8:00PM at Pat & Oscar's Restaurant located at 3881 Valley Centre
Drive, San Diego, CA 92130
Tonight amigos!
From Antonio, 'BajaCactus':
Here it is what we have put together for all of you:
Prizes:
1st prize: A fishing trip off the coast at El Rosario… The trip will be for a group of four, may be taken at any time during 2011 (as weather permits
with four weeks notice), includes two nights at the BajaCactus Motel with continental breakfast and up to 25 gallons of fuel at the BajaCactus Gas
Station.
2nd prize: An Hugo Lopez original painting… Hugo is a great empirical artist living in El Rosario, who has always been inspired by the beauty of the
Baja Desert. The painting title is “Cirios al Atardecer” and this is the first (and so far the only) attempt from Hugo to paint using a "Spatula
Painting Technique"… so, this is truly an Hugo Lopez original.
3rd prize: A beautiful copy of Doña Anita Grosso de Espinoza’s Giclee Painting, by the artist Harley Brown... These paintings are a limited edition,
are numbered and signed by both Harley Brown and Doña Anita Espinoza.
On the night of the Dinner Event, we will have some very nice Door Prizes, which amongst others include:
-- A few courtesy nights at the BajaCactus Motel.
-- A free meal at Hugo’s Tacos La Mision (for up to four people).
-- A facial, pedicure or manicure at the BajaCactus Motel.
-- A massage at the BajaCactus Motel.
-- 20 gallons of fuel at the BajaCactus Gas Station.
-- A few, limited edition, lithographic prints of Rosalinda Martinez, by Harley Brown.
-- Some very nice Baja souvenirs and other items made by hand in different places throughout Baja.
The Dinner:
1. It will take place in San Diego, on Saturday, December 11, 2010 from 5:00PM to 8:00PM at Pat & Oscar's Restaurant located at 3881 Valley Centre
Drive, San Diego, CA 92130. Ph: 858-720-3525.
2. "Commitment, Inc" and "BajaCactus Tourism Services, S.A. de C.V.", will provide refreshments and snacks (we will try to bring Baja original
snacks).
3. Itzel and her mother will be present… pictures will be allowed.
4. Additional information about Itzel, her operation, current condition, etc., will be provided.
The Raffle will be held under the following guidelines:
1. One ticket will be given for every $ 25.00 donated.
2. All individuals who have already donated will be given a ticket(s) depending on the level of donation.
3. Individuals who donated less than $ 25.00 will receive one ticket.
4. Entries will be accepted until the day of the dinner, on Decmber 11th, 2010.
5. The winners will be chosen the night of the event. Winners do not need to attend.
6. The winners will be drawn by Itzel Zaragoza Osuna.
7. All net proceeds will go to Commitment, Inc.
Again, the Dinner Event will be open to anyone who wishes to attend, and it would really be great if we could turn this into some kind of BajaNomad
Christmas Gathering... we can all enjoy the company of each other, share some snacks, talk about Baja and even more important, feel proud that
together, we helped save a life… Itzel’s life!!!.

Yes, that is on the 'Baja Events' forum...
From many I have met over the years, I found that a lot of folks don't use or know about the Today's Post feature, and just pick one or two forums to
have a look at.
The General Baja forum (this one) is one of those they all look at.... Baja Events forum is not.
So, I posted the data right at the top of the General Baja forum so Itzel has the best chance of meeting the most Nomads.

We asked Andy by reply to his email that if our ticket was chosen to please give whatever gift it gets to Iztel.
We will be there in spirit and send magic best wishes to all.

So wish we could be there in person, but we will be there in spirit !! It is a wonderful idea to have Itzel pick the winning tickets !!! When the
dust settles, can we have an update as to how she is feeling ?

Actually, there is information on the event itself in the "events" forum, and there's information on the event in the Itzel thread that's "topped" in
the General Discussion forum as well:

DK is simply taking it a step further with this additional thread to give even further awareness today. Not something he had to do - nor even an
event he's been involved in organizing either.

Sorry
Didn't know one was connected to the other. First I'd heard of it.

So you see everyone... It doesn't hurt to post or bump something important on the General Forum... Oh and Doug, Anthony asked me to... You are
correct... I was not involved or able to do much more than talk about it and maybe take photos tonight... We are leaving very soon to be there.
