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

• Encuentros Gift Certificate
• Earrings by Cassandra Shaw
• Massage by Blue Massage
• Tabu Dinner 2 for 1

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:
