News from San Felipe
Just came back from having breakfast on the Malecon in San Felipe. What a beautiful sight. People everywhere, restaurants are very busy, Stores are
doing a brisk business. It will all be gone after the Score 250, but hopefully this will carry them through for a while. Lately, it seems like every
day another business closes up.
Also, the Food Bank(just received official paper work for new name, Voluntarios Sin Limites/ Volunteers without Limits) has to be out of the current
location by the end of the month. We think we may have found another location. The building is going to need some work, And there is a lot of stuff
that will have to be moved, so I will probably be putting out an SOS for help. More details when available.

I make it a point to drop some clothes, etc., a couple
times a yr., at your
old location, near the Arches. However I don't know how widely
known your effort in SF is to the average Gringo Tourist,
I encourage anyone I know to do a little something
for the SF residents, since we enjoy their town and
hospitality

bajasuzie, they can use just about anything a family would need such as clothing, school supplies, blankets, towels, food etc. I took them a few bags
of rice, beans, flour and some can goods I got from Costco. They probably could use pots and pans you no longer need. Anything and everything helps.

Non perishable food items are always welcome. We also have a second hand store, so just about anything useful helps. Good used furniture and
appliances are really good. The other thing that is needed is Ensure. We provide therapy for disabled children and some can't eat solid food.

Wow Donjulio, you are on the ball. Thank you. The website is up, but Susan is still working on it. The number one priority is getting moved to the new
location. Looks like we might be able to start moving stuff tomorrow. If anyone has any boxes they can drop off, it would be greatly appreciated.
If anyone is coming down from the Phoenix area and has room for a case or more of diapers, please let me know.

You have a need for several high tech hearing aids for any of the kids?

My parents were helped by the Shriners Hospital of L.A. with assistance that I needed as a young child.
To this day...I do my part. Txs JH for the kind words.

Deno, I don't know. I will find out tomorrow and let you know.
Geoff, remember to go to the new location across the street from hospital Buen Pastor.
Donjulio, Greenhouse is still the best breakfast downtown, At least that is what I keep telling Alfredo.
