Subasta La Paz - Auction and Sale to Benefit Children of La Paz
WE HAVE SET THE DATE!!!!!
Come join the fun. Subasta 2009 will be held Sunday, December 6 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in Marina de La Paz. This is the 21st anniversary of the annual auction to benefit needy children of La Paz. While the event is coordinated by Fundación Ayuda Niños La Paz, A.C. (FANLAP), Club Cruceros de La Paz, A.C. continues to be a main sponsor of this event.
We accept items for boats, homes, clothing, or any other “treasure” you would like to donate to the cause. Please bring donations to the Marina de La Paz office, Legaspy and Topete, during normal office hours or contact us at the phone number or email addresses below.
We need volunteers weeks before the event to price clothing, make minor repairs to donated items and separate articles to be auctioned from those which will be sold. The day of the auction, we need helpers to work at all the booths: the bazaar, the beer and soda booth, the bake sale, bargain table, and the cash drawers where pesos and dollars are exchanged for scrip.
Our new cookbook, Recipes 4 Scholarships, will be available for sale at Subasta too - all proceeds support the FANLAP Junior and Senior High School Scholarship Program.
You may read about the programs supported by FANLAP by visiting our website at www.lapazninos.org. If you would like to make a tax deductible donation to the children you may write a check to International Community Foundation and mail it to: 2505 “N” Avenue, National City, California 91950; remember to put “children of La Paz” in the lower left-hand corner of your check. Or donate online at http://donate.icf-xchange.org/donate.php/losninosdelapaz
In La Paz, you may contact us at 121 2166, or pass by the office of Marina de La Paz and ask for Mary. We’d love to introduce you to “our children” and the neighborhoods where we work.
