We participated in several charity events run by the Amigos de Lo de Marcos in late January and early February. The organization raises money to support local projects.
There was a book sale, in which we donated 3 shelves of paperbacks from our library here at Savage RV Park. Attendees could purchase a shopping bag full of used paperbacks for 50 pesos.
We had a "Beach Bum" event with 8 activities such as racing with a golf ball on a spoon, bust the water balloon, plus a boogie board competition. The cost was 50 pesos per person to participate. This event was raising money to provide swimming lessons for the local children. The boogie board event was a competition to see who could do the most long runs into shore within 20 minutes. Unfortunately Vic didn't win the competition. The prize was a jicama for each of the winners of the male and female category! Each time a participant completed an event, their name was entered into the draw. There were many nice draw prizes!

February 4th was a busy day from 4 pm to 10 pm with a rummage sale, a silent auction, taco night, and music.
All were fun events for a wonderful cause.
