Shriners recognize Ribfest host

Local Shriners Perry King and Cesar Rubio present a certificate of appreciation to Flavio Tavera (center)  for his generosity in facilitating the free use of the Cumbres Jardin de Eventos for the 10th annual Shrine Club Ribfest.

Tavera is a representative of Grupo Diocsa, the Guadalajara-based development outfit that built and operates Cumbres, Tobolandia and the Cielo Vista housing subdivision.

This year’s 2016 Ribfest drew a record crowd of 600 diners to boost the transportation kitty for local children requiring specialized care at the Shriner Hospital in Mexico City.

Tavera gave his pledge to continue supporting such a worthy cause, penciling in a reservation for Cumbres on March 8, 2017.
