Welcome to all 1,797 newsletter subscribers!
The new malecón in La Peņita is a buzz with activity these days, and so is the Community Cultural Center. You can read all about it below.
If you ask anyone, they will tell how steamy the month of July was. Is it because we had a little less rain than usual or could it be the effects of global warming? View the archival data and current weather conditions on the Official Jaltemba Bay Weather Page and make your own conclusion. To find out what else is happening, read through the information below and take a peek at our online Community Calendar. The next issue of the Jaltemba Bay Life Newsletter will arrive in your Inbox on Wednesday, August 21 just in time for your morning coffee. In the meantime, keep an eye on our blog and forum, as we post information, stories and photos there on a regular basis. Saludos!

A Reflection by Picasso

The meaning of life is to find your gift.
The purpose of life is to give it away.
- Pablo Picasso
Thankfully, I found my "gift" many years ago. At first, I reveled in the discovery of how amazing it is to express your emotions through artwork. Then there was the multitude of mediums to explore. That kept me busy for years. However, the best part of finding your "gift" is truly giving it away! Read More

If you haven't already booked a place to stay next season, our Deals & $pecials page is a great place to start. View current Deals!
NEW: Live Forum Chat
Forum members can now interact with one another instantly via the new real-time chatroom on Jaltemba Bay Folk. In addition to a public chatroom, members can also initiate a one-on-one private chat with other online members on our forum. Click on the "Chat" tab to get started. Read MoreNEW: Home and Business Owner Discussion Forum
Based on an abundance of feedback, we have gone ahead and created a private subforum on Jaltemba Bay Folk for residents, homeowners and business owners. This is a place where residents and owners can have open and productive discussions about the sewer, water, healthcare, press and other issues that affect those of us who have a vested interest in our community.

NEW: Translation Tool
Users are now able to translate the entire Jaltemba Bay Life website from English to Spanish or French. Yep, you asked and we listened!
