Well-known lakeside resident and philanthropist Geoffrey Kaye stunned local animal welfare enthusiasts when he announced his pending retirement from the popular nonprofit Animal Shelter and Store at Hidalgo 212 in Riberas del Pilar.

A memorial in honor of the late Juanita Reed is the newest addition to the International Garden situated at the west end of the Ajijic Malecon.

A new system for maintaining lakeside’s master calendar of events and fundraisers was revealed this week.

ImagenMx, publishers of the “Chapala Directory” and StreetSmart map guide, announce the launch of a new three-fold venture focusing on the Best of Lake Chapala.

The Lake Chapala Society is providing crime victims from the foreign community with a safe place and bilingual support to make their denuncias (formal complaints).

The dedication of the sacred turtle rock set for Thursday, April 3, 11 a.m. at Ajijic’s Malecón park will also be a special occasion for Casas Cariñosas, the non-profit organization that operates the Abbeyfield retirement home for independent seniors.
