Greetings to our 8,547 subscribers
The annual Grupo Pro Sayulita Fundraiser this past Wednesday evening was a success with a sold out venue at Palapa Brisa Mar and an overall community goal to raise funds for our town in an on-going effort to make Sayulita a better place to live and vacation. Congratulations to all the volunteers of GPS who organized and made the event a fun and delightful evening for all who came out to support GPS and the cause. El Sayulero extends a huge GRACIAS to Don Pedro's for hosting the event and donating all the food and service for over 300 attendees. Thank you! For more information on the night's events and funds raised, read article below. The past weekend in Sayulita was a busy one with crowded beaches and people visiting from all over for the 4th annual Punta Sayulita Longboard Classic competition. Raggae artist Mishka performed at last Saturday night's concert on the beach and many of our local surfers and stand up paddleboard enthusiasts participated in the competition and represented Sayulita. Congratulations to all the participants in last weekend's competition event! Also this past weekend, Sayulita welcomed the town's own ambulance and firetruck with a parade through town last Sunday and a thorough demonstration on how the Jaws of Life work to saves lives and how our ambulance and firefighter crew are on call for local emergencies. See Donna Day's photos of the week below if you missed Sunday's demonstration. Thank you for reading El Sayulero.

With a special gracias to all volunteers and Don Pedro's, on Wednesday night Grupo Pro Sayulita threw the bash of the year to raise funds to protect, clean, and serve Sayulita. The Palapa Brisa Mar was radiant with lavish tables, a sold out gathering to support our community, and an exquisite sunset followed by soft lighting, music, and dancing. Tables were filled with silent auction choices from fine art to taco dinners affording everyone the ability to bid, donate, and win. People of all ages and social backgrounds mingled and found new friends over cold drinks and a mutual cause to benefit Sayulita. More
Fundraising Goal: $70K USD
Amount raised: $55K USD
Short: $15K USD
Its not too late to donate to Sayulita's most important charitable group that helps keep Sayulita clean, safe, healthy and productive. Here is a few more expenses they need to cover:
$10K USD: New ATV for Sayulita's police force
$5K USD: Retaining wall and drainage system to keep kindergarten from flooding
$4K USD: Kitchen for firemen and medical techs
$500 USD: Appliances for new Sayulita Firehouse
$350 USD: New tires for police ATV
$100 USD Personal or Business membership with GPS. (If 50 people joined today GPS would be $5K closer to its Fundraising goal.)
La noche del mi�rcoles Grupo Pro Sayulita lanz� la fiesta del a�o para recaudar fondos para proteger, limpiar y servir a Sayulita. La Palapa Brisa Mar estaba radiante con mesas de lujo, un vendido reunir para apoyar a nuestra comunidad, y una puesta de sol exquisito seguida de una suave iluminaci�n, la m�sica y el baile. Las mesas estaban llenas de opciones subasta silenciosa de obras de arte, cenas de tacos que ofrezcan a todos la posibilidad de hacer una oferta, donar, y ganar. Personas de todas las edades y clases sociales se mezclaban y encontr� nuevos amigos a trav�s de bebidas fr�as y una causa com�n en beneficio de Sayulita. Mas

Welcoming Our Town's Fire Truck and Ambulance
|
Once upon a time, Brian Singleton, a member of Firefighters without Borders, arrived at a Grupo Pro Sayulita (GPS) meeting and proposed that Sayulita obtain an ambulance and fire truck. This is now not a fairy tale, but a reality. GPS under the direction of our past president, Eric Rudd, along with the Zach Chambers Foundation and Firefighters without Borders supported the purchase of these emergency vehicles.
�rase una vez, Brian Singleton, miembro de Bomberos sin Fronteras, lleg� a una reuni�n de Grupo Pro Sayulita (GPS) y propuso que Sayulita debe obtener una ambulancia y cami�n de bomberos. Esto ya no es un cuento de hadas, sino una realidad. GPS bajo la direcci�n de nuestro ex presidente, Eric Rudd, junto con la Fundaci�n Zach Chambers y Bomberos sin Fronteras apoyaron la compra de estos veh�culos de emergencia. Leer mas

PAIRS Relationship Tune-up Offers
Skills That Work in Many Situations
|
 The PAIRS seminar being held In Sayulita March 20, 21, and 22 is not only good for couples, it's also a great tune-up for any relationship -- friends, co-workers, parents and adult children -- even siblings, according to Holly Weaver, a part-time resident of San Pancho. "I have known Robin (Robin Temple, facilitator of the seminar) for 30 years and have participated in PAIRS seminars a number of times," Weaver said. "I attribute most of the healthy communication skills I have to what I learned in PAIRS. Personally, I don't know how people can maintain loving, nurturing, fulfilling and supportive relationships without these skills." Read moreEl seminario de PAIRS se celebra en Sayulita el 20, 21 y 22 de marzo no s�lo es bueno para todo p�blico, tambi�n es una puesta a punto ideal para cualquier relaci�n - amigos, compa�eros de trabajo, padres e hijos adultos - incluso los hermanos, de acuerdo con acebo Weaver, un residente a tiempo parcial de San Pancho. "He conocido a Robin (Robin Temple, facilitador del seminario) durante 30 a�os y ha participado en seminarios PARES varias veces", dijo Weaver. "Yo atribuyo la mayor parte de las habilidades de comunicaci�n saludables que tengo a lo que aprend� en parejas. Personalmente, yo no s� c�mo la gente puede mantener amar, nutrir, satisfactoria y relaciones de apoyo sin estas habilidades." Leer mas

Sayulita Is for Everybody:
Interview with Nora Hernandez Torres
|
By Timothy Kelly
 | | Photo by Georgia Glennon |
If you walk by the office of Ally Cat Sailing Adventures and see an angelic face at the desk, you have met Nora. Even if you don't like boats or the ocean, you will be tempted to stop in just to talk with this enchanting woman. And, if she smiles at you, you are "hooked". I first met Nora onboard the Ally Cat on a day cruise to the Marietta Islands as she led the courteous crew in their duties while her husband, Noah (next week's interview), was at the helm of this magnificent catamaran. When I first asked Nora to tell me about herself, she asked me whether I wanted the "long" or "short" version. Here is what we settled on, although I am sure we could have talked for many more minutes. Read entire interviewSi pasas por la oficina de Ally Cat Sailing Adventures y ves una cara angelica en el escritorio, entonces has visto a Nora. Aun si no te gusten los barcos o el mar, querras parar a hablar con esta mujer encantadora. Y si te sonrie, te encanchara. Conoci a Nora por primera vez a bordo del Ally Cat un dia que viajamos a las islas Mariettas. Ella se encargaba de la tripulacion mientras su esposo Noah navegaba el barco (el entrevistado de la proxima semana). Cuando pregunte a Nora si me podria platicar algo de ella, me pregunto si queria la version corta o larga. Aqui es lo que me platico, y de seguro pudieramos habernos quedado platicando por un rato mas. Leer toda la entrevista

Letter to the Editor
|
I must take some exception to the last letter to the editor about the tragedy on our beach. A few years ago, there was another tragedy and I, too, became upset that something like that was allowed to happen. It seemed senseless. A friend of mine took another attitude-- "this is Mexico, and you look after yourself." I completely disagreed with him. When hundreds of thousands of people use the beach each year, services must be provided-- including bathrooms, medical response and lifeguards. More

Bite This: The Fajitas at Aaleyah's

This cozy spot is noted for buffalo wings and nachos, but the menu at Aaleyah's has expanded to include really delicious specialties and this is one of them-beef fajitas. My only beef about this tempting plate is that is a huge amount of food! Approach this menu item with either a very good appetite or a friend who will share this bounty. More

Pueblo Magico: A Car Story
|
Those of us who live here need transportation. Those who drove here in their own cars have their own stories and issues-- cars brought in have to leave again. We flew here so we had no choice. Our architect/builder said on our very first day that we needed wheels, so he took us to various dealers and we opted for an inexpensive one-year old blue Platina Nissan with 16,000 miles on it and scratches all over. That was fine with us; we just wanted something that would work and not have to worry about. We had several wonderful trips around the country in this car. More
Aquellos de nosotros que vivimos aqu� necesitan transporte. Los que condujo hasta aqu� en sus propios coches tienen sus propias historias y temas - coches tra�dos tiene que salir de nuevo. Volamos aqu�, as� que no ten�a opci�n. Nuestro arquitecto / constructor dijo en nuestro primer d�a que necesit�bamos ruedas, as� que nos llev� a varios distribuidores y nos decidimos por un bajo costo de un a�o de edad Nissan Platina azul con 16.000 millas en �l y ara�azos por todas partes. Que estaba bien con nosotros, lo �nico que quer�amos algo que funcione y no tener que preocuparse. Tuvimos varios viajes maravillosos de todo el pa�s en este coche. Mas
