No heading I've sent out in years got so many responses as my "Happy to Say 'Adios' to 2015 from the Glorious Southern Zone of Costa Rica." And the most fun part was I didn't write it correctly to express what I wanted!
I adored 2015 ... with all its ups & downs, ins & outs, backwards & forwards, births & passings, & comings & goings. We saw our local community grow with more interesting & amazing people and projects, Sansa began flying down here a few times a week, Ann Bender finally got justice after 3 murder trials, we welcomed the lovely Chimirol Feria on Wednesdays, Vida Autenica and their Tuesday Feria expanded and flourished, and our San Isidro PZ Feria got new signage and more space for vendors. What I had really meant to say was that I was just happy to say Adios from here! And I'm equally happy to welcome 2016 and all that it will bring.
Blood Bank & Hair Donation Day Coming Up
Sunday, January 19th will be the 6th Annual National Blood Bank from 7am in the Auditorium at the Complejo Cultural in downtown San Isidro. The blood banks are in serious need of donations and this is a wonderful way to contribute to the community. One of our own beloved friends, Scott Domanic, is currently in need of blood donations and other help. Click the link for the Scott and Allison Domanic Emergency Fund.
Same day, same time, will be the third year for hair donations to make wigs for those who have lost their hair from chemotherapy. This wonderful event will be in the Central Park in San Isidro. Article on these events in Spanish, here.
I'm new to the area I'm moving into a house in Cajon. I need everything for the house. I do have already a refrigerator and a stove. But I need everything else.
Would appreciate any help.
