One whole chicken costs about 70 pesos. Today in the silent auction for the Desayuno de los Pollos/Chicken Breakfast YOU all helped us raise 22,500 pesos. That equals 322 chickens that will feed as many families! And that does not include the money raised by the breakfast itself, the bazaar, bake sale, gumball guessing and your donations!!! This year, for the first time ever, we added a LIVE AUCTION.
Many of the people we serve live in homes made of black garbage bags, recycled vinyl banners, or the occasional plywood. We completely make their Christmas holiday by giving them the chicken for a Christmas dinner, foodstuff/despensas for a couple of weeks, and second-hand bedding or kitchen items.
There are SOOO many individuals we want to thank for helping us sell tickets and collect auction items. Special thanks this year to Jeanette and Emery Leraand, as always, Denise Thomson, the awe-inspiring Sue Parker, and our four goddaughters, the Hernandez sisters, among MANY more! Hundreds of people enjoyed the morning, with so many smiling, winning faces.
Please join us in thanking those businesses that supported this effort, by patronizing them and letting them know you appreciate their civic-mindedness:

Thanks for the info re:the chicken dinners to help the low income families in Mazatlan. It makes my heart glad to hear that expatriates are willing to help low income families in that area. ________________________________
It’s very much a multicultural effort, with loads of locals as well as expats joining in. Join us!
Hi Dianne, it was great to meet you in person today at the Breakfast. We will try to make this a part of our activities each year when we visit a Mazatlan. We had a fabulous time and met some sweet families!
I gave these girls my Christmas, glitter ball earrings and they were over the moon happy!!
