HIV/AIDS Day
World AIDS Day, which was established in 1988 by the World Health Organization and the United Nations to remember those living with HIV and those who died from AIDS, will be commemorated on Sunday, November 30, when two red ribbons will be installed at the amphitheater on Ajijic’s malecon. Representatives from Ajijic Cares and Vihas de Vidas will be on hand throughout the day to provide information about the disease and its prevention.

Last Minute Halloween

In addition to the riotous good Tall Boys time, there will be prizes for the best costumes, a new band member to meet and much more.
Upcoming fiestas
To Halloween or not Halloween? The spooky day so many expats love to fear has gained popularity during the past two decades. There were plenty of purists (probably mostly expats) who adamantly fought the importation of Halloween. They were concerned that a day focused on ghosts, skeletons and treats might overshadow the overlapping old local traditions on October 31, and November 1 and 2.
History Club
The History Club of the Lake Chapala Society commences its 2014-15 season on Tuesday, October 21, 1 p.m. at the society. The group will view one of the “Cosmos” series of famed astronomer and science communicator Carl Sagan.
