The Board voted unanimously to donate funds to the following two charities:

More specifically:

  1. 2,500 pesos to Subasta. This donation is given to Subasta annually. This year we are donating before the end of the winter cruising season so that the funds may be used during the summer to organize and promote the December 6, 2015 Subasta.
  2. 2,500 pesos to FANLAP to help defray the cost of the rice, beans & oil for their breakfast and lunch program. During the cruising season the fleet is asked to purchase extra rice, beans, and oil while at the store and drop them off at Mary Schroyer's office in Marina de La Paz or at Tex Mex Services in Marina Palmira. During the summer months this program suffers without those donations.

The Board of Directors voted unanimously to donate funds to the following three charities:

Specifically the donations are as follows:

  1. $2500 pesos to Barbara Spencer’s foundation, Care for Kids La Paz.  This is a newer focus to purchase materials for building (and rebuilding homes after Hurricane Odile) in the Vista Hermosa neighborhood. These funds will be used for building materials for 6 families new to the area that currently have no shelter and are trying to build shacks.
  2. $2500 pesos to Ninos Ariba for the new program to incorporate a proven practice of using horses as a physical, mental, and emotional therapy for children with corresponding disabilities.  Included in the program will be children with physical and/or mental impairments, children from orphanages, and children from abusive homes. These funds will build stalls for two horses.
  3. $2000 pesos to be used to purchase adult diapers for the Elder Care Facility. 

Your donations to the Club Cruceros Charities Fund help to keep programs such as these possible.
