Big News From Bid 4 Boquete

Reply To:	Bid 4 Boquete <bid4boquete@gmail.com>

Hola Friends of Bid 4 Boquete

We have lots of big news to report.

1) We are in the process of distributing checks to our 4 major beneficiaries totaling $60,000. This money will go directly into the greater Boquete area for support to:

• food programs
• spay/neuter/adoption animal programs
• Boquete library
• handicap services
• educational programs
• children's programs
  

2) In addition we have set aside $7500 in order to make smaller grants to other local worthwhile programs. We are currently accepting requests for these grants which can be sent to bid4boquete@gmail.com. Just send a simple email explaining your program and what the money will be used for.

3) Although we won't change our name, we are now (technically) Bid 5 Boquete with the acceptance of the Rotary Club as one of our major beneficiaries. The current 5 beneficiaries now are:

• Buenos Vecinos de Boquete
• Club de Leones
• Fundacion Pro-Integracion (Handicap Foundation)
• Amigos de Animales
• Rotary Club

We expect the Rotary Club to bring us a renewed sense of enthusiasm and a new set of ideas for fundraising. At the end we will be cutting more pieces in the pie but we expect the pie to be larger than ever. Welcome Rotary Club.

For those of you in the community who would like to help out you can do it directly by becoming a volunteer for Bid 4 Boquete or indirectly by becoming a volunteer for any of the above organizations. For more information about these organizations, just click on their name and send an email.

And no Bid 4 Boquete email would be complete without reminding you about the spectacular bargains that are in our Clearance Sale Album . . . . especially for vacation spots, architects, and attorneys.
