Alma Serrano (San Juan Cosalá).– At a sold-out event, more than 170 people enjoyed a historical talk, musical presentations, and grape harvests at Raquet Club in San Juan Cosalá. The April 29th event was a fundraiser for Asociación Civil Pro México, an association that strengthens educational processes for socially vulnerable people in Jalisco. The Coordinator of Community Development, María Blanco, was pleased with the turnout; people came from Chapala, Ajijic, El Chante, San Juan Cosalá, and Guadalajara. Both Mexicans and expats attended. «It was very crowded, all the tables were full. Many people who bought tickets, and could not attend, donated their tickets. This allowed others to attend in their place,» she said.

María Blanco also acknowledged the work of the entire Asociación Civil Pro México team, as well as the support of the various sponsors and collaborators. The organization’s mission is to continue carrying out projects for the empowerment of local women. «We had support from the entire Asociación Civil Pro México team, but there were also sponsorships that funded a local photographer, chairs, tables, refreshments, floral arrangements, sound system, and more,» she added.
