Amigos Charity Events

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 3rd there was a walk about town visiting organizations supported by the Amigos group.  The  walk was followed by a Burritos Breakfast for 30 pesos.
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.
