| | January 2nd's Charity Night at bANANAcANtiNA to support Vallarta Enfrenta el Sida was a huge success! With thanks to Pamela Thompson of Health Care Resources, Paco Arjon Executive Director V.E.S., and Juan Carlos Garcia, they educated, passed out brochures and sold raffle tickets to EVERYONE - raising $5030 pesos!
How could we lose with those hosts and these prizes:
• Drama and Diplomacy book by Jenny McGill • Jewelry by Carol Ann Anderson of Hot Flash • Basket of Soaps by Banderas Soap Blends • Encuentros Gift Certificate • Earrings by Cassandra Shaw • Massage by Blue Massage • Tabu Dinner 2 for 1 • Haircut by Clarese • Encanto Dinner for 2 • 10 hours of Internet time at PVcafe.com
Oh, and those Very Hot V.E.S. Men of Vallarta 2008 Calendars were flying out the door! Which is great, since all proceeds from the sale of these calendars benefit people of limited resources who are living with HIV in Puerto Vallarta and surrounding communities.
Held every Wednesday from 7-10 pm, Banana Cantina's popular Local Celebrity Night offers residents and visitors the opportunity to enjoy a great meal, meet interesting people - and raise money for local charities while you're at it! Upcoming Guest Hosts include:
• January 16 to support R.I.S.E. with guest host Cassandra Shaw • January 23 to support Alfredo V. Bonfil with guest host Papa Dolores, that's not a typo, Papa Dolores, more commonly know as Kieran • January 30 to support AutismO2 with guest host Candace of Fishing with Carolina
