Barbecue at the Beach Fundraiser




THANKS to everyone who supported our Barbecue at the Beach Fundraiser for the Chuburná Puerto School Support Program. ( El Programa de Apoyo Escolar de Chuburná Puerto)

This year's fall event was held at the Tinkey's on Tuesday October 20th and attended by over 60 friends of the Apoyo Program. 
 Everyone accommodated the rainy start to the evening; seeking shelter in the Party Room
Some guests braved the downpour on their way from their cars to the party, laughing as they shook the rain out of hair and clothes.





As the rain let up, guests wandered into the beautiful garden, dried off chairs, sat with and made new friends while enjoying the music...

Guests from Chuburná, Merida and yes, even New Zealand 
11,540 pesos were raised in support of students needing tutoring, eye exams, glasses, access to the internet for homework via our office/computer centre in the village; and other supports over and above what the sponsorship fee covers.


More guests from Chuburná, Progreso and Merida 


                           
                        The bar was busy; and the MOJITOS were a big hit!!!!!!
