| | Los Amigos de La Peņita's Fiesta 2010 exceeded our expectations - with proceeds expected to be well in excess of $300,000 pesos. | |
A little bit of rain couldn't dampen the spirit of the more than 200 people who attended Los Amigos de La Peņita's Fiesta 2010 on Sunday, January 31 at Hacienda de La Peņita - Thomas Bartlett's internationally acclaimed estate.
Entertainment for the event was provided by the Puerto Vallarta Chamber Players, the talented East Indian dancer Adriana, Flamenco guitarist Oscar Christian and his dance partner Rosabla and the Perez Brothers.
Latitude 21 provided Oscar Christian and Rosabla and the remaining musicians generously donated their time. The event also featured our first live auction, as well as a silent auction, a hosted bar and finger foods.
The fundraiser exceeded our expectations. Although final figures are still being calculated, it is expected that the event will generate net proceeds well in excess of our goal of $300,000 pesos.
We would like to thank our host, Thomas Bartlett for providing the inviting and welcoming ambience of his Hacienda La Peņita. Thanks are also due to a number of sponsors who stepped forward with generous donations to ensure that all of the monies raised through ticket sales and the auctions will go to support the work of Los Amigos.
Our thanks also go out to all of the individuals and businesses who donated items to the silent auction or to be used as and door prizes, to the business and individuals who served as ticket outlets and the media who helped promote the event.
 The Fiesta would not have been possible without the Los Amigos members and other volunteers who worked tirelessly to ensure the event was a success. And last, but certainly not least, we want to offer our heartfelt thanks to those of you who attended or just made donations and showed your support for Los Amigos.
