Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - We realize there have been many fundraising events in Vallarta this year, but you don't want to miss the Biblioteca Los Mangos fundraiser at Café des Artistes on April 12th.

This will be the Puerto Vallarta library's third annual Gala Dinner, and it promises to be an unforgettable evening with a very special touch of class. It will be a black and white event with a five course dinner, a welcome drink and three glasses of wine at one of Vallarta's most popular restaurants. There will be door prizes and lots of other surprises.

We invite you to enjoy a magical evening, while helping to support Puerto Vallarta's very own library and cultural center. Your attendance at this upcoming gala event will continue to help Biblioteca Los Mangos in celebrating 15 years of operation.

The library has grown tremendously over the years, providing services to the general public, but still needs improvement in many areas, such as the purchase of books and computers, keeping up with a maintenance program, and, the most important thing, continuing payrolls to the staff to keep it operating.

In a recent statement, María José Zorrilla thanked the community for all the support Biblioteca Los Mangos receives, adding, "You have all been terrific by helping the library to continue... Without your participation, we just could not afford to exist. Thanks a lot for your generosity."

We hope you will join us for this special event, which will include music by some of the new teachers of the library's newly formed youth orchestra, which was made possible thanks to Via Cultural, an organization that is promoting culture in our community by organizing cultural events like the San Diego Ensemble, which performed a free concert in Puerto Vallarta's La Plaza de la Hermandad on March 19th.

You are going to enjoy the event, the evening, the food, the company, and above all, knowing that you are supporting the only cultural institution in town that provides free information to the community, while promoting literacy, culture, art and music through its various activities.

Tickets are $950 pesos per person and are available at the Belmar Hotel, Insurgentes #161, or at Los Mangos Library, Francisco Villa #1001. Both places accept credit card payments.

Biblioteca Los Mangos, Puerto Vallarta's Public Library, is a true community cultural center. For updated information on Los Mangos Library activities, please visit biblioteca-los-mangos.blogspot.com, call (322) 224-9966 or send an email to blm(at)prodigy.net.mx.
