Good Post Kathy B & Vicky & Robin

An Independent Day of Gringo appreciation . Interesting ! Would save on being victimized from the Band and Beer price tags increasing every year at around this time . You could save a fortune with this adjustment.

Intuitional Knowledge not being shared .

Suggestions : 1. Have tickets printed in the States that will cover say , 5 years . Number in sequence with date space left open for a stamp that can be designed and used for each different year . That will save on a big reoccurring expense .
2. After Christmas buy plastic plates , bowls , cups , napkins ,plastic cutlery when "On Sale" !!! Store the left over supplies for the next year .

3 Who is it that you want to target for thanks ?
Restaurant and Shop Owners , Workers , Ejido .
Who do you not want to thank .... someone mentioned gang element. Should separate family passes etc. be printed given out and collected at the gate on entry ? Hmmm .... maybe. if too many "outsiders " are taking advantage .

The are all kinds of things to do to cut corners and save resources . Plan ahead a get the easy overhead things covered . Then maybe plan for someone driving down to bring a cooler of briskets etc . I remember driving down for Thanksgiving one year with turkeys on ice .

Work to make the Day a self sustaining Day so committee members aren`t constantly having to come up with ever increasing cash requests for a program that should be a lot of fun and not a yearly pain in the neck . Good Planning and have some fun !_: smiley("");
