Third Annual Bowl-A-Thon
The “Third Annual Bowl-A-Thon” will take place on Saturday, February 26, 2011 from 7:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. at Lynnwood Bowling and Skating arena (located at 6210 200 St. SW, Lynnwood, WA). Last year we had a wonderful time with the parents, players and friends at this event.
Please come and support this great and fun fundraising event.
This is the way that the event will work: you will go to the Lynnwood Bowl the night of the event and Sandra Anderson and Ric Lomibao will have a table to keep track of all payments, they will provide bracelets for each person who pays $25.00 and they will keep track of who the payment goes to. At the time that you buy your bracelet you will give them the players name and team names that you are supporting. (You need to make sure that the people you are inviting tell us the players name)
Each individual will put their bracelet on and will have to show it when they get their shoes to bowl. Also with the same bracelet they will get their rolling skates.
We have bowling from 7-9pm and skating from 7-11pm. It is a lot of fun for everyone! Please remember that the money that you are going to pay to have fun, will comeback to you or to help somebody in the Foundation.

Raquel had a Visit with the First Lady of Peru
The First Lady of Peru, Mrs. Pilar de Garcia came to Seattle on Sunday morning to meet with the Heads of the Peruvian Community here in Seattle. She also meet with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
We got together at the Peruvian Consulate. She came to present her program that is called Sembrando This program is to help the less fortune people in Peru. She is helping the people on the Highlands (Sierra) from 2,500 meters and up, people that generally dont have electricity, drinking water, restrooms. These people probably cook and sleep in the same little room, they dont have very much and they dont know what is happening outside of their world. 4 out of 5 of the Children at this altitude are under nutrition.
She explained to us her Program. She said that My program is all about this:
First, we will educate the mothers, because the mother is the one who taka cares the family. We will educate the mother about proper hygiene. How important and necessary it is to boil the water before drinking it and to clean their hands before they eat. We will teach them to read and write.
Secondly, they will teach them to build a kitchen so they dont have to breathe the smoke from the wood stove. Many of them have pulmonary problems because of the smoke. Also we will build bathrooms, however the most important part is that they are going to take all parasites out from their tummies, and to finish all the gastro intestinal infection that they are having and cause numerous health problems and deaths among them.
That is the beginning of the project, and of course that they are going to need clothes, food and money
I really love this program I think is great!
Mrs. Pilar program is not part of the Peruvian Government, she has her own Foundation and she is working very hard for it.
I hope that we can help this wonderful program.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Raquel
