Happy New Year to our 7,348 subscribers,

It's been a very festive week in Sayulita as the town celebrated Christmas beginning with Noche Buena (Christmas Eve) last Saturday. There were many family reunions, dinner parties, busy restaurants, firecrackers, and music all over town. I hope everyone near and far has enjoyed and is continuing to enjoy the holiday season as 2011 comes to an end. The main beach in Sayulita has been full this past week as many tourists and national visitors are spending their holidays in Sayulita. If you are wondering what to do or where to go this New Year's Eve, check out the article below for some great ideas to ring in the new year.

There are two upcoming 2012 calendars for sale in Sayulita, both to help great local causes. Pick up your Sayulitanimals 2012 calendar to help support the animals of Sayulita or one of the new 2012 firefighter calendars to help support the local firefighters, paramedics and lifeguards of Sayulita.

Happy New Year to all our readers and contributors of El Sayulero.

Sayulita Celebrates New Year's Eve   
By Lindsay Walter

It's that time of year again; a time to look back on the year just passed and to look forward to a new year ahead, as Sayulita and the entire world celebrate New Year's Eve this Saturday, December 31st, 2011 and New Year's Day, Sunday, January 1st, 2012. Many stores, businesses and banks will be closed Monday, January 2nd, for the long weekend and national holiday.  More

Juan Carlos Update   

By Shelly & Josh 


As the holiday season turns up our generosity & love, I thought no better time to remind you of Juan Carlos, and how your big-heartedness can make a huge difference in the life of a child. I also know that we all give in many ways around Sayulita and the world. It is hard to give to everything and every time we are asked. So just read below and if you find yourself interested, moved or find an extra $200 peso bill in your pocket, know there is somewhere to go with it all.  More

 

A medida que la temporada de Navidad alimenta nuestra generosidad y amor, creo que no hay mejor momento para recordarles a Juan Carlos, y c�mo al amabilidad de uds. ha hecho una gran diferencia en la vida de este ni�o. S� que todos dan de muchas maneras en Sayulita y otras partes del mundo. Es dif�cil dar a todos cada vez que nos pidan. As� que lea a continuaci�n y si usted lo encuentre interesado o movido, o si encuentre un billete extra de $ 200 pesos en su bolsillo, saben que hay un lugar bueno para donarlo.  Mas 

Where There's a Will, There's a Way      

By Angela Long-Lambert
 

As a foreigner, the purchase of a Mexican property can seem like an ordeal because the process seems so "different" and "foreign."  In reality, yes, the process is different, and it is very do-able. Today, I've chosen to write about the important subject of "wills in Mexico."  If you have a will in the United States or Canada it will not necessarily cover your Mexican assets. A probate court from the United States does not have legal jurisdiction to property outside of the country. Because there is no jurisdiction, it is best that you make a Mexican will for your titled Mexican property and assets.  More 

 

Como extranjero, la compra de propiedad mexicana pueda parecer algo dif�cil porque el proceso es tan "diferente" y "extra�o". La verdad, es que s�, el proceso es diferente, pero no tan complicado hacer. Hoy, he escogido a escribir sobre la importancia del sujeto de los testamentos en M�xico. Si tienes un testamento en los Estados Unidos o Canad�, no va a cubrir tus bienes mexicanos. Un tribunal de sucesiones de Los Estados Unidos no tiene el jurisdicci�n legal para distribuir propiedad afuera del pa�s. Como no hay jurisdicci�n, es mejor que prepare un testamento mexicano de sus bienes y propiedad titulada.  Mas

Local Reef Surveying     

By Octavia and Daniel
 

Any environmentally conscious human is always hoping they can do something to help save the planet. We all are aware of current situations in our daily lives where environmental quality is being threatened by the influences of humans and our actions. When it comes to coral reefs, it seems like an overwhelming situation since the rampant decline of reef habitats is alarming. However, there are some positive actions that one can do, and this is happening locally in our area. Several local Sayulitenses, along with other folks from the Bay of Banderas, have formed a Reef Check team and are monitoring the local reefs we have here in the Bay, specifically in the Marietta Islands.  More 

 

Cualquier ser humano con conciencia ambiental es siempre con la esperanza de poder hacer algo para ayudar a salvar el planeta. Todos somos conscientes de la situaci�n actual en nuestra vida diaria, donde est� siendo amenazada por la calidad ambiental de las influencias de los seres humanos y nuestro las acciones. Cuando se trata de los arrecifes de coral, parece que una situaci�n abrumadora ya que la disminuci�n galopante de los arrecifes es alarmante. Sin embargo, hay algunas acciones positivas que uno puede hacer, y esto est� sucediendo a nivel local en nuestra �rea. Varios locales Sayulitenses, junto con otras personas de la Bah�a de Banderas, han formado un equipo de Reef Check y monitoreo de los arrecifes locales que tenemos aqu� en la Bah�a, espec�ficamente en las Islas Marietas.  Mas

GPS:  Inner Workings     
By Eric Rudd

Technology is great, especially coupled with some extra volunteer help. So I was delighted when Florrie McCallum volunteered last season to take on our membership database and inner workings. As an all-volunteer organization, we carry out our programs primarily with support from memberships, donations and selling tickets to our annual Fiesta-Fundraiser. To accept money takes administrative know-how, and we need to maintain transparency. These things necessitate having a good database, something we never really had -- until Florrie stepped up to the plate!  More 

 

La tecnolog�a es gran, especialmente asociada con alguna ayuda de voluntarios extra. Entonces fui encantado cuando Florrie McCallum se ofreci� �ltima temporada a tomar nuestra base de datos de la asociaci�n y trabajos de innter. Como una organizaci�n de voluntarios, nosotros llevamos a cabo nuestros programas principalmente con apoyo de asociaciones, boletos de donativos y venta a nuestro Fiesta-Recogedor de fondos anual. Para aceptar que dinero toma conocimientos administrativos, y nosotros debemos mantener transparencia. �Estas cosas necesitan tener una base de datos buena, algo nosotros nunca tuvimos realmente -- hasta que Florrie ascendiera al plato!

Photo of the Week:  Scenic Sayulita    
By Donna Day

 

 

I like to get off the beach sometimes and look at Sayulita from different places. I live 2 blocks from the beach, so it's an effort, but I'm always happy when I do. I think Sayulita looks great from every angle!

Me gusta salir de la playa y ver Sayulita de diferentes lugares. Vivo a dos cuadras de la playa, asi que a veces tengo que hacer el esfuerzo pero cada que lo hago me alegro. Creo que Sayulita se ve bonito de todos los angulos.

Pet of the Week:  Playful Puppy    

This tiny guy was found in the highway by two small children.  They promptly took him to a kind, young woman who lived down the street from them.  He was covered in fleas, lice, and filled with parasites.  The woman brought him to Sayulitanimals and he has begun all the necessary treatments.  He will be well in no time and ready for a loving home to start his new life.  He is around three to four weeks old, very affectionate, and will be a medium sized dog.  Give us a call (329) 291-3974 or come by the office to make arrangements for adoption.

Contact Sayulitanimals to adopt or donate.  [email protected]

Dos ninos encontraron este perrito por la carretera. Rapido lo llevaron a una senora amigable que vivia cerca de ellos. Se encontro lleno de pulgas, pijojos y paracitos. La senora lo llevo a Sayulitanimals donde ha recibido todos los tratamientos necesarios. Pronto va a estar saludable y listo para encontrar un hogar amoroso para comenzar su nueva vida. Tiene tres o cuatro semanas, es muy carinoso y crecera para ser tamano mediano. Hablanos al 329-291-3974 o pasa por nuestra oficina para adoptarlo.
