Annual Spay/Neuter Clinic Next Week - Please help keep unwanted dogs and cats off our streets. The three-day event will take place this coming Thursday, Nov. 17 thru Saturday, Nov. 19 at La Canada del Diablo, Todos Santos. Four vets from the U.S. along with several vet techs will join our local vets in a volunteer effort to reduce the overpopulation of dogs and cats in our neighborhoods.

For many years he worked in all the major theaters throughout Canada, including the Shaw Festival. and the best part is that he has expressed a willingness to bring together a few fellow actors - or would-be actors - to form an ensemble giving the community a taste of legitimate theater. To get started he needs to hear from any of you who would like to participate. (Think Shakespeare, Noel Coward, George Bernard Shaw or ???) The vision is of a small troupe to put on one or two one-act plays that could perhaps raise a little money to help care for the homeless dogs of Punto Lobos while having a real theater experience. If you are interested, email George at gefrda [- at -] yahoo.ca. Looking For Michael and Carol Selby - We are staying at the Hacienda del Mar in Cabo del Sol.
