Choquette is heading up the committee t o repair and assemble the playground equipment. The nuts and bolts are purchased and the volunteers are lining up to get the project started. Amigos de Animales Rummage Sale
The Amigos de Animales of La Ribera held its annual Rummage/Bake Sale on Saturday, February 25, 2012, at the home of Bob and Ruth Moran. There were many great re-sale items donated this year, which created many happy buyers. If you didn’t get a chance to come to La Ribera this year, you missed some wonderful baked goodies, such as pies, cakes, cookies, cinnamon rolls, breads, cupcakes, and much more. There were many happy customers with either bags full of merchandise, and/or bags full of goodies. The proceeds of this year’s sale came to well over $23,000 pesos. This will help us to continue our spay and neuter programs, and to offer more individual animal care. A big thanks went to all who donated the great items & baked goods. We will be having a table at the Festival de Artes where we will be selling baked goods. We will have the same delicious items there that we did at the rummage sale. The next fund-raising event will be the annual Amigos Fundraising Dinner and raffle to be held at La Trinidad Restaurant in La Ribera on Wednesday, April 11, 2012, at 6:00 PM. Please plan on attending. All proceeds will go to benefit the work of Amigos de Animales.
