The Boutique is Open.... Come Shop.   We sold over 470 pieces of clothing, giving the remaining clothes to a women's group in Chuburna to raise money for a new free medical clinic.

NEXT YEAR'S THEME IS " AT THE HOP".
50's and 60's

We are once again asking our supporters and sponsors to give us your gently used (clean and stain-free),  high quality clothing... Designer Labels are especially desired as we use the clothes to dress our models and provide an exciting Boutique from which our guests shop... We have many contacts who agree to "mule" clothes from Canada and the US... plus West Jet allows one humanitarian suitcase... see their website for details.. http://www.westjet.com/guest/en/travel/basics/baggage/checked.shtml

Without your contributions this excellent fund raiser would not be possible. We have wonderful volunteers who will accept your clothing:
Chuburna: Chris Parkin  yucatanchris@gmail.com
Chelem: we need  a volunteer
Progreso: Diane Clinton  dminerdc@gmail.com
Chicxulub: Karen Cloutier  klcloutier@hotmail.com
