Letter to Editor

Dear Editor:

On behalf of CompassioNet Impact and Paradise Community Center, a big thank you to you, the performers, volunteers, and the year-round community. Your support of our fundraising efforts provides for those who are less-fortunate when funds and some services aren’t readily available. Our Night of Jazz and Western Roundup raised badly needed funds to support our Hotmeal Program in Colonia Salitrillo and another next to the dump. Thanks for joining us as we say, “No to Low (season)” and welcome a summer season of entertainment and charity. In other words, we are committed to providing for those who live here in the summer season a venue for Good Food, Good Times, while supporting a Good Cause. Since we charge for our tickets, we wanted to be transparent about where the money goes. One of our goals is to provide income for musicians, so we commit 40% of the entrance fee to the musicians. The rest goes to our charitable services that one can read about at www.4compassion.org, which include a Hot Meal Program, the Vallarta Bookmobile, free English classes and more. I or one of our volunteers will be more than happy to give interested parties a tour of our various outreaches and partnerships. We have also developed a website to keep you informed of upcoming events and fundraisers at the Center: www.paradisecommunitycenter.com.

Thanks again for all of your continued support.
