CRUZ ROJA

Become a CRIVC (Cruz Roja International Volunteers Chapala) Volunteer! We meet once each month, on the first Wednesday of the month. Meetings are currently being held in the Lake Chapala Society Gazebo at 2 PM. As meetings generally start on time, try to allow plenty of time to park...

And if you think that you don't have time to attend the meetings or to participate as an active volunteer, you can help Cruz Roja Chapala by:

-- Hosting a benefit community event begins with caring individuals, a group or service club... see our new Community Partners Program!

-- Attending local functions and activities that are organized and hosted by the Cruz Roja Volunteers, such as the chartered bus shopping trips. These fundraisers are always fun and reasonably priced...and the money goes to a worthy cause. If you can't attend an event, think about buying a ticket or two as a gift for a friend!

-- Purchasing fundraising items. These items vary from time to time. They are always useful and/or handy--and are a good source for Christmas, birthday, and thank-you gifts. These items are available for purchase at the Cruz Roja table at LCS from 10 to Noon.

-- Inquiring about what items are needed (Cruz Roja Chapala "Wish List") and perhaps contributing an item or two .... or donating a little money toward the purchase. Contact Norm Pifer or Charlie Klestadt for more details. See In-Kind Giving for more ideas!
