Present at the ribbon-cutting of the newly remodeled dorm for the older girls at the Love in Action shelter are, from left, benefactors Geoffrey Kaye and Charles Lloyd, the facility’s supervisor Kari Romey, and John Gonzales of Chapala Sunrise Rotary Club. Lloyd, who funded the project with a gift of US$22,500, flew to Mexico so he could spend the day in Chapala. He was given a special certificate from the local Rotary Club and was made a Paul Harris Fellow for his exceptional service project.

Dr. Gabriel Varela, neurosurgeon, moved his 18-year Guadalajara practice to Lake Chapala more than ten years ago. During this decade he has built a thriving local practice and sees more than 200 Lakeside patients a year. “I especially like living here so that I can be on hand to provide attention to my post-op patients and for emergencies,” he says.

Marita Noon, executive director of Energy Makes America Great, Inc. and the Citizen’s Alliance for Responsible Energy, will be the featured speaker at the Wednesday May 13, 4 p.m. meeting of the Lakeside Conservatives Group at the San Juan Cosala Raquet Club. 

While Sundays are generally a busy day for most Lakeside restaurants, with Guadalajara denizens cruising the lakeshore,  it will be even harder to get a reservation at your favorite place on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 10. So we’re letting you know which restaurants are catering especially to moms on their day.
