J Bay Animal Rescue

What the Local Animals Need for Christmas

I hope you enjoy these photos of our last clinic.. (Click here to see Lin's Slide Show) It was the best clinic so far with 150 animals overall who attended the clinic, 145 animals sterilized and 2 cats and 4 dogs adopted out to good homes.
For those of you arriving and wish to bring down more supplies for Jaltemba Bay Animal Rescue, I have attached a revised wish list for future clinics and help with animal rescue. See it here.
Thanks again for all of you who volunteered your time to be part of this clinic and all of you who have supported us in many other ways. We could not do it without all of you!!

"10 Pesos. 10 Pesos. 10 Pesos.10 Pesos."

Going to the Market remains a tradition this year as a place to mingle, meet old friends, buy plastics, nic nacs and fresh veggies. It is also a good place to buy Mexican handicrafts.

Take a morning off from your oh so busy social calendar and relax. Have a coffee at Soleys or Xaltemba. Come visit us in-between. Then walk over to Hinde and Jaimes for those "I'm in heaven Tacos."

The Bench - December 12

“The Bench” is a comedy that takes place in a shopping mall during the Christmas season. It centers on two men who meet and become friends while waiting for their wives, and the people they meet. Written by Larry Larson and Eddie Levi Lee, this play has something that almost everyone can relate to.

Lead roles are portrayed by Jace Damon and Lieutenant Patterson, Jr. Jace is no stranger to Vallarta audiences, having performed in a number a plays over the past few years. Lieutenant (yes, that´s his real name), is a newcomer to the stage here, and recently was seen singing and dancing in “Those Oldies but Goodies”. Both men are excellent actors with credits and credentials that go back many years to the days when they lived in the USA. The fine supporting cast includes a number of newcomers to the area, plus a few well known faces.

Playing for 3 weeks only, “The Bench” will be on stage at the Cultural Auditorium (formerly Cecatur Theater), located 2 blocks up from Burger King at the central plaza in the heart of Puerto Vallarta. Show dates are every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday starting December 12. Doors open at 7:30 and show starts promptly at 8PM. Tickets are are available at a number of locations around town, including the IFC office, El Gato Gordo (across the street from Club Roxy  and The Shrimp Factory), Encore Consignment Store (584 Lazaro Cardenas), and if seating is available, at the door.
