SAX on the BEACH Fundraiser


" A picture says a thousand words" Thanks to photographer Carla Gilmore we are able to tell the story of our most recent fundraiser...

Thanks to hosts Sherri and Dave Jones for  agreeing to host the party at their beach side garden.

Beverly and Hostess Sherri
                                                                                                         
Dave Jones:  Host and Barbecue Master

                                                                                   


Lots of time to visit with friends...great music in the background provided "gratis" by Jose Ballote Ruz from Merida....known best as  Pepe Ballote                                           



                              Pepe wandered thru the garden serenading party-goers.   
Everyone had a drink in their hand at all times thanks to Bartenders Mike and Diane 
Dorothy and Marta served up hotdogs, Bev and Roy's delicious hamburgers, Ann's marvelous chili, & Sherri's famous pasta salad.  Later in the evening, Penny and Sue served up their amazing cakes. 
Pepe came to us via our relationship with his wife Lisa, President of the International Women's Club in Merida.

Jim and Mike kept the fire on the beach burning in spite of a gusty breeze.

Over 70 generous folks attended, helped out, bought raffle tickets and, together, raised 9900 pesos for the Chuburna Puerto Apoyo Escolar Program GUST Fund... the fund we draw from to help students deal with situations which are deterrents to their studies.
