The Lake Chapala Jewish Congregation will host their annual community Passover Seder on Friday, April 6, 6 p.m. at La Nueva Posada in Ajijic.

March 18, St. Andrew’s Anglican Church gave out funds garnered from their Regalorama yard sale event last December. Each year, charities present their requests to the St. Andrew’s Outreach Committee.

The Cruz Roja Chapala executive board has implemented a variety of innovative fund-raising strategies with the aim of meeting or surpassing the 200,000-peso goal set for the 2012 spring donation drive.

Eight Lakeside charities were the beneficiaries of the profits procured from the Ajijic Chili Cookoff held in February at the Tobolandia water park.

Under the guidance of new director Candido Cardenas Flores, the Escuela Preparatoria Regional de Chapala may soon open its doors to lakeside expats for language instruction and other cross-cultural activities.
