Bowling is viewed by many as just a way for overweight, beer-drinking guys working dead-end nine to five jobs to blow off steam. This has caused it to be the butt of jokes and an object of satire on television and in movies. Of course, for those who enjoy bowling, the basis for this reputation might be part of its appeal. Although some might argue otherwise, bowling is a sport in that it involves physical exertion and competition.  

After fifteen Wednesday’s, 25,000 frames and 260,305 pins knocked down, the PVRPV Summer Bowling League at Puerto Vallarta’s Bolerama has come to a successful end.  The fun, frivolity and friendship continued one last time (August 12, 2010) for the season-end recognition party at the very popular Café de Roma and our hosts Fox, Jorge, Juan Carlos and Edgar.

The evening started with a 50/50 raffle coordinated by master salesperson, Miguel Velázquez, who generated well over 3000 pesos.  1500 pesos were donated on behalf of the PVRPV League to Families at the Dump, an organization that began back in 2006 with the Developer of Paradise Village Resort to provide physical, educational, medical, spiritual and emotional support to the families living in the garbage dump and surrounding areas.  The additional 1500 pesos were eagerly presented to Bill Kelly.

Following the drawing, bowling awards were presented to:

Hola all!

A few things to keep you all updated on PEACE and what we are doing in the PV area. . .

First of all, there is a large animal rights march being organized for this Saturday at 10am at Los Arcos on the Malecon. Various organizations and groups from the Puerto Vallarta area are getting together with local community members to show their support of animal rights. There are several “marches” happening in other cities in Mexico, Spain and Argentina and we simply want to make a statement locally.

They are asking everyone to wear white shirts, please NO pets and to arrive at 10am. The march will be from Los Arcos to Rosita Hotel and back. Some groups will be there all day, but many people will simply join them in the morning. Please support this worthy cause and join us!!

Also, we will be hosting our weekly beach clean-up this Sunday at 9am in front of Oscar’s restaurant on Isla Rio Cuale. We will meet for an hour or so and hope to clean up the whole area. If you are interested, please email me at nicole@peacemexico.org.

THANK YOU!!!

In Peace – Nicole Majewski – Community Relations Director
