Looking ahead

Put this on your calendar. The Lakeside Women’s Health and Beauty Fair is set for Tuesday, October 16. The event will provide lots of useful information, a buffet lunch, a silent auction and the opportunity to browse and buy from talented local artisans and merchants.

Don’t mess with Texas

The next Lone Star gathering is set for Thursday, July 26, 3 p.m. at American Legion Post 7 (Morelos 114, Chapala).

Sock hop

It’s time to dig those poodle skirts and bobby socks out of the closet, shake them off, practice your best dance moves and get ready for the Sock Hop set for Monday, July 30, with cocktails served at 5 p.m. and dinner at 6 p.m. at American Legion Post 7, Morelos 114 in Chapala.

Raining cats

The Animal Shelter has a population of about 40 cats and kittens at the moment. They could certainly use more volunteers to sit and play with these fine felines, to keep them entertained and to socialize them for adoption.

Can/Am Day

Don’t miss the second annual Can/Am Day celebrating the United States Independence Day and Canada Day to be held on Monday, July 2 from noon to 5 p.m. at the Lake Chapala Society (LCS).

Early ticket sales are predicting good crowds coming to enjoy great food, entertainment and information, while supporting the good works that LCS is undertaking.

Entertainment will be provided by the Tall Boys Band. Roberto’s Restaurant will cater the food providing all-beef hot dogs and hamburgers, ribs, chili, potato salad, coleslaw and watermelon. Two cash bars will serve beer, wine and cocktails.

Speak Spanish

The Lake Chapala Society (LCS) has announced the start of their next term of Spanish-language classes that will begin Monday, July 9. They will cover seven weeks of study ending on August 24.
