    I would like to express my sincere gratitude to both the Fundacion de Biblioteca de Boquete and to the camera club, Boquete PhotoGrafia, for providing the opportunity and venue, and support, for the solo photo exhibit that I have hanging through the end of this month.

    Sincerely,
    -Howard Hill

    Sponsor-a-Family November 2015

    PLEASE SPONSOR ESTER'S FAMILY 

    7004b2880e2f415f88abc2a9719054a4
    Ester is a single mother struggling to raise her five sons: from left to right is Fredy age 6, little Esequil age 1, Arnold age 3, Erik and Eduardo ages 9 and 12. They live in extremely poor conditions, but Ester makes sure her two oldest boys attend school. On this day, Erik and Eduardo were back from their school day, and all quickly changed into their best clothes for the photo, as they happily accepted their BVB bag of food items.

    We would like to thank this month's BVB Corporate Sponsor, Sugar and Spice. Not only did this popular bakery/eatery donate a gift certificate to our Harvest Cook Off as a prize, but owner Richard Meyer ran an October/November promotion offering his customers delicious brownies or muffins in exchange for donated canned goods to be used by Buenos Vecinos de Boquete. Thank you, Sugar and Spice!

    If you would like to sponsor this family, and the efforts of Buenos Vecinos de Boquete, your financial support would be most appreciated.

    TO SPONSOR other families like this:

    DONATE ONLINE: http://www.buenosvecinosdeboquete.com/how-you-can-help
    We use PayPal for easy and secure transactions.

    IF YOU PREFER TO DONATE BY CASH, Please contact Louise Orr (panamaleo@gmail.com) for arrangements.

    When you make that important decision to sponsor-a-family, you have truly become a “good neighbor”. Your contribution of $360 a year or $30 a month (about the cost of a daily latte) goes a long way. 

    Buenos Vecinos de Boquete’s wholesale purchase power enables us to furnish our clients more food than they could purchase on their own in the store with the same amount of money. 

    When you sponsor-a-family for a year ($360), your name will be added to our “Coconut Foundation” as an acknowledgement of your concern and generosity.

    ANNOUNCING...

                                      

    PUP FRESH

    FOO FOO JUICE FOR FIDO”

     

    PUP FRESH is a new product from El Matador that both you and your canine friend will appreciate.

     

    Many veterinarians advise that it is not good to bathe dogs too frequently because of the risk of drying out and irritating their skin. Of course if they roll in mud or something worse, it has to be done.

     

    One veterinarian site states:

     

    Bathing your dog once per week or more frequently is wrong. If you bathe your dog more frequently than recommended, the dog may develop problems such as:

      • Excessive dryness of skin, due to the fact that the skin cannot produce essential oils at a more frequent rate

      • The coat will get dull, due to the lack of essential oils

      • The skin will be more prone to infections, because the essential oils also have a protective role

     

    Dogs with long hair need somewhat more frequent baths because they can, and usually do, collect more dirt. Even some dogs with short hair produce more skin oils than others and need more frequent bathing. But, in general, bathing should not be more frequent than every three or four weeks.

     

    So what does PUP FRESH have to do with all this?

     

    PUP FRESH is a spray-on solution that keeps your dog looking good, smelling clean and repelling fleas and ticks between baths. If your dog has long hair, you can back comb it as you spray on PUP FRESH so that it reaches the skin better and then brush or comb normally. For short-haired dogs you only need to apply the spray from a fairly close distance and allow it to penetrate to the skin. No rinsing or drying is necessary.

     

    After spraying with PUP FRESH, the doggy odor is replaced by a pleasant aroma, while the active ingredients do the job of killing germs and repelling fleas.

     

    PUP FRESH comes in a high quality 24 ounce spray bottle---enough to last a good while even if you have a Great Dane.

     

    PRICE? It's a bit higher than I would like but a LOT less than commercial dog sprays you can find on Amazon.com or at Wal-Mart. One of the ingredients costs about $12 per ounce.

     

    A 24 ounce spray bottle of PUP FRESH costs $8.00. For comparison, a 10 ounce bottle of a similar spray by Burt's Bees costs $7.96 plus shipping to Miami, plus shipping to Boquete. That's only about 42% as much as you get with El Matador PUP FRESH. For second and subsequent purchases, if you return a clean, fully functional spray bottle, the price will be $7.00.

     

    To order, send an email to me at rhgusn@gmail.com or call me at 6745-2828. I can usually deliver on Tuesday mornings during at the market, or we can make other arrangements on a case by case basis. If you have not ordered in advance, call me while you are at the market. I try to keep extra products in my car if they are available.

     

    WARNING! Do not use PUP FRESH on cats or allow cats near it.

     

    For a list of all currently available El Matador products, send an email to rhgusn@gmail.com and request a product information and price sheet.
