Lol-Ha Restaurant
The encore of the fun and successful Keeping it Akumal fundraiser event first held in 2023 was last night, January 30th, and was fantastic! Neighbors socialized over cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, and participated in a silent auction for artwork, jewelry, and more, all to support our community!

Art Exhibition and Sale
Thursday, November 21, 2024
Lol-Ha Restaurant
We had an amazing turn out and successful art show raising over $43,000 pesos between sales and commissions.
A big round of applause to Vecinos president and wife Ricardo Mangione and Monica Hendricks, and all our association members and community for all their support. Thanks to Laura Bush for her generosity allowing us to hold the event at Lol-Ha and display the paintings for two weeks. Thanks also to Lol-Ha staff and Vecinos board members and their partners for their support, including George and Josie Pritchard, Beryl and Susan Van Lierop, Scott and Marieke Brown, Carly Flores, Ingrid Datica (artist), Monica Hendricks, and Juan Antonio Huerta. Special thanks to the board members Peter Swenson and Carly Flores, who purchased art works.
The event could not be possible without our local painter and teacher Giorvanni Avashadur and his art class students Ingrid Datica, Malú Güijosa, Claudia Munoz, Xell Carles, Luu Montiel, Dianora Zagato, Rosa Zuniga, Elvira Biasin, Gali Avashadur and Monica Estrada.
