Given a golden opportunity to acquire a privately-owned house long-ago carved out of the original Neill James property, the Lake Chapala Society (LCS) is pitching a special fund-raising campaign to secure the purchase of a choice piece of Ajijic real estate.

The Chapala government reports excellent turn-out for the Covid-19 vaccination campaign held Tuesday through Friday this week at the Instituto Tecnológico.

Plans for putting on an extended festival to fete Ajijic’s designation as Jalisco’s new Pueblo Mágico have been put on hold indefinitely due to the latest restrictions on public events implemented by the state government this week.

“The Hands of Truth,” a colorful representation of universal mystical symbols emblazoned on a backdrop of a Lake Chapala landscape, is the latest addition to Ajijic’s extraordinary trove of mural art.

Chapala’s Civil Protection and Firefighters Units have received the donation of a high-performance drone that will help in combating forest fires and emergency rescue missions.

Family and friends of Richard Tingen gathered on Friday, July 16, for a bittersweet memorial celebration.
