As well, there will be loads of other items for sale - from spa treatments to fabulous dinners for two! Don't be late! Items go quickly! Wine and hors d'oeuvres will be served. Admission is free. Los Mangos Library is located at Francisco Villa #101 Tel: (322) 224-9966. Contact me for further information.

Becas Crystal Ball
This year's Becas Ball will be held at the Westin Hotel. The fun starts with a cocktail from 7 pm, followed by dinner at 8 pm and dancing 'til 12:30 am for just $850 pesos per person.
I will be honest here - I have never gone to the Beca's Ball. Why? Because I am single, thought I would be bored. WRONG! This year I am going, encouraging everyone to go! That means singles, gay, straight, couples - whatever! Put on your dancin' shoes - we can all dance together! We can all sit together! Who cares? It will be a blast - and all for a good cause!
This is the one chance in the year to get REALLY decked out - dressed up - strut your stuff (and you don't have any stuff to strut, let's find something!) The dance music will be fabulous and there will be some unique (and over the top!) silent auction items as well. Please contact me for tickets and let's work on the seating arrangements - so that we may all be together!
Please contact me for further information on any of the above events.
