Toys for Tots - Donate Christmas Toys

There is now a donation box in the Tlaquepaque management office for donations for the Toys for Tots program. Please bring an unwrapped new toy for a needy child this Christmas.

Over the 62 years of the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program, Marines have distributed more than 400 million toys to more than 188 million needy children. This charitable endeavor has made U. S. Marines the unchallenged leader in looking after less fortunate children at Christmas. Over its 18 year life span, the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation has supplemented local toy collections with more than 81.3 million toys valued at more than $487 million; plus has provided promotion and support materials valued at over $6.3 million.

Tlaquepaque supports this program and hopes you will too!

New Menu Items at Rene Restaurant

Deborah Leatherwood has added some delicious new items to her menu. We recommend you try having lunch or dinner at Rene Restaurant to sample some of the new items created by Chef Walter. We loved the new berry salad shown here. It was a breath of fresh air.

This delicious salad had, not only a great variety of fresh berries, but a delicious brie filled fig to top it off! Stop in for a taste soon.

Animal Rescue Site

Hi, all you animal lovers! This is pretty simple... Please ask ten friends to each ask a further ten today! The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily so they can meet their quota of getting FREE FOOD donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute (about 15 seconds) to go to their site and click on the purple box 'fund food for animals for free'. This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising. Here's the web site! Please pass it along to people you know. http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/

Getting Ready for the Holidays

Tlaquepaque is getting ready for the holidays which are just weeks away. Right after Thanksgiving, the Festival of Trees will take place. We expect over 30 Christmas trees decorated and shown throughout the Village. There will be a special holiday mailbox for letters to Santa located in the Patio de las Campanas.

We are also excited about the 36th annual Festival of Lights which will take place on Saturday, December 12. All stores are requested to be open until 8:00pm. This year will be exciting with many new musical acts. Let's get our shops decorated for the holidays and really enjoy these special events.

Sedona Visual Artists' Coalition Show in Ballroom

The annual Fall show of the Sedona Visual Artists' Coalition will begin at Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village. The show will run through Nov. 18th, and new works of many VOC artists are featured. The public is invited to a free gala opening night celebration on Friday, October 30th from 5 - 8pm in Tlaquepaque's Sala de Milagro ballroom and its spacious adjoining terrace. The show will be in the same ballroom, and is free daily from 10 - 5pm. The theme for this year's show is "Beneath the Surface". 80 artists rose (or some might say burrowed) to that challenge. Each artist has created a new piece with a unique and original embodiment of the theme, resulting in an amazing diversity of artworks on display. For more information about the show, the artists, and the Coalition, see the Coalition's web site at http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102797223396&s=1240&e=001UF7EGSvM0CvgCNCpOBzO7-ieiqybXmLFFNj75QptJ1neyUSHiR0eghrByzNTKFaZ5uMfeO3SP_OKjbqntNMQu2W70LfFfrJwrXks1JaLX8ScUpcENycyAdAJgxwvI_thXsy3oEQpTjA5atSWUWwcpvWYYowzycYv.
