By in Our Blog with 0 Comments

The Rotary Club of Puerto Peñasco Sea of Cortez was just formed in June with 20 local business leaders as the original members, yet they are already on a fast start to raise funds to help schools and the medical  community in several vital areas of need.

sonoradinamita Their first major fund raiser to be held on Saturday September 27, sounds like a lot of fun as well. Billed as the “Grand Night of Dance”, they have booked one of Latin America’s most popular bands, the internationally famous La Sonora Dinamita, the ensemble that enlivens packed houses around the world. They are one of the first Colombian Bands to gain international success, and are credited with making the Colombian/Panamanian Latin music genre “cumbia” appreciated throughout Latin America and the world.  If you like to dance to Latin music: cumbia, salsa, and others, you will not be able to stay in your seat. If you’re not the avid dancer, you’ll be happily entertained by the band and female led singers. Also playing Latin dance music will be Los Venturas de Caborca, Sonora, a big regional band of astounding popularity and huge fan base. These bands are easily worth the price of admission ($200 pesos in advance, or $250 at the door) because they both put out polished, big Latin band sounds.

The dance will take place at the new Puerto Peñasco Convention Center you’ve watched being built over the last couple of years on the new road leading from the beach resorts to the Cholla Mall shops. The fun begins at 8:00 PM.  If you’re in business here, why not purchase a table of 8 or 10 and invite your top employees to a great night out!

The Rotary Club of Puerto Peñasco Sea of Cortez has earmarked the funds raised from this Grand Night of Dance to purchase an ambulance for the new General Hospital and make improvements on their existing one. In addition, their goal includes the purchase of a hemodialysis machine for the new Hemodialysis Center adjacent to the hospital. They also plan to purchase two school buses, one for the Rotary-sponsored Secundaria #27, and one will be given to the City for use at other schools in need.
