San Diego Nomads, I will be up there on Tuesday. Any gift donations(restaurant gift certificates, service gift certificates[oil change], unopened
gifts) welcome to add to our auction and raffle.
Fifth annual event produced by Nomads Lizard Lips, Bajaguy, Bajablond, Bajabound2005, Beachbum1a, BajaDon and a cast of dozens. Great news is that
this charitable effort drives all profits to children. We are all-volunteer with no admin fees. It's also 510c3 for your tax deduction.
Golf4Ninos.com takes paypal and credit card donations. Just a $5 donation makes a difference. $12 gets you a ticket to the afternoon Fiesta,
food and fun Sunday July 15 at Baja Country Club.
Udo, your throne is being polished.

That's US DOLLARS. Edited it for clarification, thanks Dennis.
Which reminds me that my last hole in one was in 2002. I think I'm due.

This tournament will be the best ever. I really can't believe it's been five years since we started this whole thing. Terry, Lynn, my wife and I were
at Agua Viva a few months ago to give a ton of clothes that were donated by Terry's daughter who asked her first grade class in Colorado to ask their
parents to go through their old clothes and donate what they could. I think it was about eight large boxes that were shipped to our post office box in
San Diego. Little by little all the clothes were brought down and were given to those who were in need.
Jim and Arlene who are the caretakers of Agua Viva and who have given every waking hour of their lives to this facility are true heros. If not for
them and their belief in God and unselfish spirt these kids have a chance to succeed not only with an education but to look at life and all it has to
offer with support and a window of opportunity. Something they never had before.
Just to look at these kids who got a pair of used tennis shoes or a young girl who was given a new dress and the smiles they had hits your heart. It's
humbling to say the least. Some of these youngsters were wearing shoes that had large holes in the soles and that was the only pair of shoes they had.
Arlene told me that the donations from this golf tournament is 30% of their total revenue for the entire year and she would have a lot of trouble and
would have to turn those in need away if it wasn't for this event.
If you can't support our effort by attending the tournament or fiesta then please next time you come down bring your old clothes and shoes or whatever
you may have to donate. You can U2U me, Doc or Terry and lets us know when you are coming down and we can get together and pick it up. We would also
like to show you the facility and how they operate and what they do. It's impressive and I'm sure you will have these kids on your mind for a long
time.
Thanks Shari for your donation. Please let me know next time your up this way and I will personally take you out there to meet Jim and Arlene.
I hope to see many Nomads on July 15. The tournament has grown every year and this one will be the best ever!!!

What is Golf4Ninos? In 2008, a group of gringos, living in Baja, decided to throw together a little golf tournament and a party. The proceeds from
the event go to Agua Viva shelter, our neighbors on the south side of Ensenada.
That little golf tournament and party has grown to include more than 225 fiesta goers in recent years.
Details on this year’s exciting golf tournament, including the $40,000usd hole-in-one prize, can be found at Golf4Ninos.com
Golf is $100usd and includes a fiesta entry, free raffle tickets and loads of surprises and awards.
This year’s GRAND FIESTA includes music, our premium taco feast, cash bar, raffle, auction, prizes AND our $50,000 golf shootout for four lucky
golfers. $12usd Fiesta ticket.
“WOW, FIESTA, FRIENDS, FUN…PLUS the money helps feed, shoe, clothe, shelter and educate poor kids? How do I participate???”
Golf4Ninos.com can handle your registration/donation OR pester me. Doc Dougherty, bajadock@gmail.com THANKS for your support.
