11.5 years ago Boquete Community Players popped up in the little town of Boquete Panama. (amaxing, right?) Who could imagine a Community Theater in such a small pueblo in the Mountains? Since then, Almost every year has been marked with a Free BCP Christmas Party for the Boquete Community. Please click on the link to find out more about how you can help with the fun!

I wonder where those 26 regional sites are. Will have to investigate further! Thanks for the info! Re: blood donation in David....if they have exhausted all their resources, we would likely put out a call to help, also. If someone needs blood, they need blood. That is why I posted in Chiriqui.life, hoping someone in David could donate. It is very hard to find a match on the type & cross. Sometimes it takes 4 people just to get one match! We all have antibodies in our blood, and those have to be compatible....the blood type alone is not enough.

Boquete Hospice & Health Foundation only serves the Boquete area. We do not put out calls for blood for David or other areas. Our resources are limited, as you say, so our service is only for our community. Volcan is starting their own Hospice, and if someone there needs blood, that would be communicated in the notice, as there are donors who live there that have donated blood. In the two years I have been doing this, I don't remember any blood calls for David. Maybe this was true in the past..... (?). Our donor lists keep getting shorter, as time goes on, as those over age 65 cannot donate unless the hospital is desperate. So, until Panama starts a blood bank, yes, we must preserve our wonderful volunteers.

I usually do not post private info unless asked by the family. Of course the donors will get that info. A need is a need, no matter who....

A woman needs a unit of O Positive blood before she can have surgery in David this week. If you can donate Monday or Tuesday morning, and you meet the criteria under blood donation at www.boquetehospice.com, please call Charlotte Lintz 6693-5005. Thank you!

BCP Council meeting will be held at 2pm, Friday August 12 at La Villa Cafe at the BCP. This meeting is open to all members. Come see what we are doing for you!

Thank you both for the information. Gets me closer to getting my plants!

Am looking for this bush I see around Boquete. When it blooms, it has all three colors at the same time--white, lavendar & purple. I would like several for my garden if anyone knows where to get them.

Their food is very good, very reasonably priced.
