The Fifth Annual "Mamma Mia" Ladies Night Out
To benefit Buenos Vecinos de Boquete
We will be watching the film "Mamma Mia" while we dance and sing along to those great ABBA hits that we love so much. (The words to the songs will scroll at the bottom of the screen for those like me who are lyrically impaired). We will have 2 screens. I have timed each song so I know which songs will be the best to dance to.
This is a ladies only event so you are encouraged to use your creativity and to wear outrageous costumes to properly promote the silly factor. Door prize for best costume. This is an opportunity for women to engage in fun, nonsense and general foolishness.
WHEN: Thursday March 31, 2016. The social hour is from 6:00 to 7:00 PM. "Mamma Mia" starts at7:00 and runs until 9:00 PM. If a cab is dropping you off tell them to return for you at 9:00 PM.
WHERE: At the home of Germaine Sturtz #72 Brisas Boquetenas. Directional signage will be on the light posts inside Brisas Boquetenas. Our subdivision is 6 miles or 10 km south of Boquete.
COST: A $10 donation to Buenos Vecinos de Boquete will be collected at the door. One hundred percent of your donations will go to feed the needy, elderly and handicapped in our surrounding community.
PLEASE B.Y.O.B. and I will supply the mixes, ice, glasses and napkins. The wonderful ladies of Buenos Vecinos will be supplying delicious appetizers.
All the attendees who bring one or more friends will be given a ticket for a special door prize. So call all your girlfriends and join us in an evening of supreme enjoyment.

Community Christmas Party Hosted by Amigos de Boquete Comunidad
By Moderator_02,
Marcelyn and I attended this fabulous Christmas Party at La Posada Restaurant this afternoon. Besides the usual Christmas season festivities, one purpose for this party was to collect Christmas gifts for the local children. There was no entrance fee, but attendees were asked to bring wrapped Christmas gifts for distribution by the local churches. Our estimate is that about 50 people were in attendance, and all enjoyed the fantastic music of a seven member mariachi band. What a great performance on their part; they were very good at getting the attendees involved by singing and dancing with them. La Posada had extra waitstaff to take care of drink and food orders. The party was in a large room at the rear of La Posada -- could not have been a better venue for this kind of gathering.
The party was planned and executed by a recently formed group of expats under the name of Amigos de Boquete Comunidad (ABC). Joe Hart and his wife, Linda, along with numerous volunteers put together this festive gathering. Our hats off to Joe, Linda, and all of their elves.
Here are a few pictures from this event:

ARF Thanksgiving Meal
By Bud,
Marcelyn and I were participants in ARF's Thanksgiving Day event at the Animales Building. There was a LOT of VERY GOOD food, great conversations, visits with friends, etc. We estimate there were about 70 guests and maybe 15 worker-bees taking care of setting up, tending to the guests, etc. The background music was nice, and not so loud as to intrude into the conversations. The pecan pie was simply outstanding. Kudos to that chef! But I also do not want to take away from any of the other food items. I sampled all the food choices, and there was nothing to apologize for on that front.
An unexpected plus for us was that we finally got to meet Beth Abrahams (it is kind of a long story, don't ask).

We also got to catch up with all of the latest travels and happenings of our friends who were at our table. Met a few new people, etc.
There simply was nothing that we could fault (not our goal anyway). This is the way things should be done, and ARF did it with all of their wonderful volunteers. If someone found fault with something yesterday, then I would chalk them off as being a token curmudgeon. Thank you ARF! GREAT JOB!!!!
Thank you to all who helped make yesterday's Thanksgiving Day celebration such a huge success, and special thanks to N&N:
I will close with: we all have a lot to be thankful for.

One Night in India
By JudyS,
I think $55 for one person is a lot of money to spend on a dinner in Boquete. I've never spent that much for an Indian dinner anywhere.
