The Gift & Crafts Group have invited Volunteers Without Limits to sponsor a food drive and raffle at the coming Gifts and Crafts Show on April 17th  at Rumors (10 a.m. – 3 p.m.).

Quite honestly, I know nothing about setting up a raffle so if I fumble in the process, please bare with me.

As I understand it, the purpose of the raffle is to reward folks for bringing food items or making cash donations to fund the purchase of food.  Each contribution to the Volunteers Without Limits food bank will receive a number of raffle tickets in proportion to the value of the contribution, i.e. $1 = 1 ticket, $10 = 10 tickets.

We have heard from some great artists who have offered to donate one of their pieces as a prize for the raffle but I am waiting on pictures to share with you.

Below are the prizes Chuck is including.

We recently met Martin Romo, a local resident who is working to clean up Baja.  Martin invites the local community to get involved personally with cleaning up the beaches and countryside along the highways.

Martin is seeking people to help clean up roadside on the way to Mexicali this coming Thursday.

Martin writes:

Last Thursday I drove to Mexicali I saw on federal highway plenty of trash specially blown tires from the gold mine to San Felipe. My idea is to clean all of that this Thursday coming. Planning to go there at 6 a.m. I have some shovels,trash bags and other cleaning supplies.Easter week is coming and we must do something about it.

If you want to get involved and make a difference, you can contact Martin Romo at arttvmedia@yahoo.com or through his Facebook page at Martin Romo C.

The articles posted under “Other Ways to Help” are about separate organizations or groups that function San Felipe.  They are not part of Volunteers Without Limits but we at Volunteers Without Limits wish to encourage people to contribute or help where ever their hearts and minds lead them to do so.  In that spirit, we hope to make this site a place that links those who want to do something with those who need help doing.

One of the groups that works closely with Volunteers Without Limits are the folks that call themselves the Better Together in Christ group. A faith based ministry, they keep a rather low profile and I don’t believe they even have a website but they do a mighty work in the community helping San Felipe seniors in need of home improvements, food and health care.  They are not a non-profit organization, just a group of people who are not afraid to get their hands dirty (or blistered).  They repair roofs, fix plumbing and put in windows and doors for the elderly.  They also relocate donated trailers and 5th wheels to provide much needed housing.

If you would like to learn more about BetterTogether, their next meeting will be on April 10th at the Pavilion at 1 p.m. or you can contact them at Bettertogetherjc@aol.com.
