Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - On Wednesday, March 20th at 7 pm, the Puerto Vallarta Men's Chorus will sing at a benefit dinner at No Way José! Restaurant for the gay-friendly Horizonte de Paz Men's Residential Rehabilitation Center for alcohol and drug abuse.
The benefit dinner begins at 7 pm, and includes one soft drink, margarita, or glass of house wine, Aztec Soup, and your choice of entree: Chile en Nogada (beef, shrimp or veggie) -or- Pollo Xochimilco, a spinach and cheese stuffed chicken breast in Huitlacoche truffle sauce.
Tickets are $300 pesos in advance or $350 pesos at the door. The dinner is expected to sell out, so buy your advance tickets at No Way José! Restaurant, 5 de Febrero #260 (and Ignacio Vallarta), and at Flowers To Go, Rodolfo Gómez #126 (and Olas Altas), both in the Romantic Zone.
The Puerto Vallarta Men's Chorus will sing an original humorous medley, "Ex-Pats in Paradise," about the challenges and joys of Puerto Vallarta for foreigners, and "Amor a la Méxicana." The chorus, directed by Bob Bruneau of Seattle and Puerto Vallarta, sang its first major concert, "Sing Out Proud," in June last year, followed by a near sell-out holiday show, "Alegría," at Teatro Vallarta last December.
The mission of the chorus is to present beautiful, quality male choral music presented in both Spanish and English, by the gay Mexican and ex-pat communities to entertain, enlighten and unify our audience and members, using the power of this music to recognize the value of our gay community and our relationships, and to help build bridges of greater acceptance to our member's families, the city of Puerto Vallarta, and the country of Mexico.
About the Horizonte de Paz Rehabilitation Center
The Horizonte de Paz Men's Residential Rehabilitation Center opened in 2010 in Ixtapa, Jalisco, as a safe haven for drug and alcohol abusers to receive support and help. As the center does not receive money from the government, it relies on charitable donations and money from the clients and their families.
Horizonte de Paz helps the clients with a work program that will benefit them in recovery at the shelter and afterward. The center also provides physical and psychological support 24/7. Your support at the March 20 benefit will help these men find solutions to their problems and become productive members of their families and society.
Named the "Best Moderate" and "Best Service" Restaurant in Banderas Bay in Vallarta Lifestyles' 2012 Readers Choice Awards, No Way José! is located on the south side of downtown at 5 de Febrero #260, just over the Vallarta street bridge on your left.
