Puerto Vallarta Democrats Abroad Inauguration Party » January 20

Democrats Abroad Mexico – Costa Banderas Chapter And Vallarta Botanical Gardens, A.C. cordially invite you to an Inaugural Celebration at the splendid Vallarta Botanical Gardens On Tuesday, January 20, 2009, 10:00am to 6:00 pm.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Unfortunately the United States Democratic Party, once thought of as a party of the people, is now the exclusive political party in the US and, at least here in Vallarta, forbids (by prohibitively high prices for its events) all but the wealthy from attending. This inauguration, which should have been a massive popular celebration, is now simply a garden party.

Celebrate the arrival of a new era in American history in the expansive splendor of Vallarta Botanical Gardens. Watch this historic event, broadcast live from the U.S. Capitol, on the Botanical Garden’s wide-screen televisions.

Help Toys for Tots Deliver Miles of Smiles

toys for tots
The 2009 Toys for Tots Vallarta toy distribution program is scheduled to run from January 5th to January 7th at the Marriott Hotel, Av. Paseo de la Marina no. 5, in the Marina,
Puerto Vallarta.

The following activities will take place:

1. Begin blowing up balls and separate all toys into routes: Monday, January 5, 2009, 11 am – Main Ballroom of the Marriott Hotel. We have four air compressors, but need more to for the blowing-up of balls: continuous air compressors are needed.

2. Toy distribution: Wednesday, January 7, 2009, 7 am – Parking lot of the Marriott Hotel. Toys for Tots Vallarta will need trucks or vans that have covers for some of the routes.

If you are going to caravan on the distribution routes, you should bring water and a snack. Depending on the route, four-wheel drive vehicles might be necessary. Once we finalize the route leaders, we will send you their names and contact information so you can plan what route you will join and what the requirements will be vehicle and time-wise.

Come and join Toys for Tots Vallarta for the preparation and distribution! It will be time well spent!

At 7 am, we will gather in the parking lot of the Casa Magna Marriott Hotel in Marina Vallarta. There is limited parking available in the parking lot, so if you are not loading toys please park on adjoining streets.

The loading of toys will begin at 7 am. There will be a brief ceremony before the caravans depart to begin the distribution of toys. Please note that a few of the caravans will depart earlier than 7 am due to travel distance.

To learn how you can help Toys for Tots deliver smiles to thousands of poor children around Banderas Bay on January 7th, contact Bill Clark at (322) 222-3616 or clarkbill (at) earthlink.net

The following is a list of routes with brief descriptions of areas each will visit. Included is the route leader, telephone number and email. Please contact the route leader for the area of distribution you are interested in participating.
