Residents and Visitors!
DON´T MISS SAYULITA´S MOST FUN FIESTA!!!

GRUPO PRO SAYULITA ANNUAL FUNDRAISER
SLATED FOR WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 5:30 pm TO 10:30 PM
DON PEDRO´S PALAPA

March 25th from 5:30 pm to 10:30 pm at the spectacular Don Pedro palapa across from the cemetery above Sayulita´s South End playa.

In a move to address the current recession that is affecting many expat residents and visitors to Mexico and in particular to Sayulita, the event will focus on raising funds for the specific needs of the various entities the organization supports within the local community.

The event´s silent auction will focus on four specific community needs so that attendees can directly target their particular area of interest – recycling, beach safety, the new Sayulita Animal Clinic and local schools. A live auction and portion of the silent auction will also feature art, jewelry, travel and other luxury items as in the past.

Taking center stage as Master of Ceremonies will be Rollie Dick, of the famous Rollie´s Restaurant. Also present will be Choco Banana’s famous ChocoChips, whose hilarious Chippendale-esque performance promises to raise festivities to frenzy as well as other fun surprises.

Founded in 2006, the GPS mission is to help to make Sayulita a better place to live and visit. Over the years, the organization has funded major infrastructure improvements to the Primary school, basic materials to all the class rooms (paper, pens, pencils, book, etc), helped fund the recycling program, provided a small garbage truck and garbage cans for trash collection, helped hookup properties to the sewage treatment plant along Revolucion, major improvements to the Sewage Plant operation and, in April, a new public bathroom will open next to the bus stop next to the baseball field.

Tickets to the annual fundraiser at Don Pedro’s “Palapa Palace” on the point are $500 Pesos and include dinner, one free drink and loads of fun. The location, food and drink are all donated by Don Pedro’s Restaurant. Other donors will be highlighted at the event. Transportation will be provided from the Plaza. Tickets are available at the door, in the Plaza and at Rollie’s Restaurant.
