4th of July/Canada Day Party

Each year the Merida Men's Club, and the IWC (International Women's Club) host a fundraising event,  They've had the 4th of July party for sometime but this is the second year as a joint venture with Canada, U.S. and Mexico. An international picnic...everyone welcome.  

The proceeds go to several charities.  It's always a rip roaring good time! 

Here are a few details!

• Tickets will be available at the door, but be sure to get yours ahead of time. 
• Hamburgers and hotdogs are free with the admission ticket...all you can eat.
• Drinks tickets will be sold at the gate for sodas, beer and wine. Last year many bought bottles of wine for their table and this will be possible again this year. 

 Lovely setting...beach, pool, music, good food, friends, etc

      LA CASA DEL MALECÓN, is a beach hotel right on the boardwalk in Progreso (close to the house known as “El Pastel” and the “Restaurant Capitan Pirata.”)

 

The proceeds will benefit:

The IWC Scholarship Program

EducaTe Yucatan

Chicxulub Food Bank

International Women's Club of Merida

I am a member of the International Women's Club of Merida.  

Have been since I got here in 2006.  

It's a fabulous group of women doing good things, for each other and the community.   I don't attend as many events as I used to but I remain a member - because of all the good they do!

Arturo Novelo of Real Life in Merida recently produced a video about the Women's Club.

If you are here in Merida, whether full time or part time, you really should join, not just for all the great women and resources, but to become involved in community affairs; and to help others!

4th of July/Canada Day Event in Mérida!

 I am a member of the International Women's Club (IWC) 

of Mérida  - 

We do a lot of stuff to support Mérida, 

and especially the Women of Mérida.  

And we're co-sponsoring a fund-raiser.

This particular upcoming fundraising event will provide much needed support and resources for the IWC Scholarship Fund; which helps young women realize their potential and dreams by providing them both financial and mentor support towards their education,  and the Mérida Men's Club charities, which are the Chixulub Food Bank and the EducaTE Yucatan breakfast program.

This year is an auspicious and banner year for this upcoming 4th of July/Canada Day Event....

WHY??? 

Well, because for the first time this event is supported jointly 

by many of our Mérida and Beach Social Groups; 

These include the IWC, the Mérida Men's Club, the Mérida English Language Library (MELL), the Beach Gals, and the SOB (Sons of the Beach). 

This should help make this event a HUGE, and FUN Success!
