Dear Friends:
While there are many younger children in our families that we want to get toys or electronics for, here is a thought to consider. . . Instead of racing around stores looking for gifts, why not think about sending a small donation in that person’s name to the tax-deductible Baja Scholarship Fund which has in its care 39 students who have been in our program for years.
The students range from primary school to university students. All are outstanding academically and have been at risk of leaving school due to financial hardship.
They receive money for school fees, uniforms, books and even food, for the poorest families. This has proven to be a very successful way to provide an opportunity for the student to rise above the poverty level as well as exhibiting a model for their family and friends.
The BSF encourages scholarship recipients to stay in their own communities after completing their education. Since the inception of the program in 1995, we have supported one student, Alicia, from third grade to the completion of her medical school education. She is now a practicing physician in Tecate. We’ve also graduated a teacher who is now working in Rosarito and a CPA who is working in the area. The success stories seem endless and are ongoing, thanks to the support of our neighbors and friends.
Your check, in any amount, will be US tax exempt and you will receive a receipt for your records. We would also be happy to acknowledge our gift in someone else’s name and tell them about the Baja Scholarship Foundation.
Checks should be made to the BSF

Education is the answer for so many bright young boys and girls to better themselves and live a life, often times, within their community inspiring others.

Is it Wise to take your property off the market during the holidays?

As a predominately second home market, is it wise for Baja homeowners to take their homes off of the market at this busy time?
Is it Wise to take your property off the market during the holidays?
If you are planning to spend most of the vacation time at home with family and friends, then probably not.
Although keeping the sign up with holiday decorations and plenty of holiday spirit to pass around, this might be the perfect time for showing the house with all of its warmth and the smell of pine in the fireplace.
On the other hand, if you aren’t that pressed to sell the home, then keep this time as a family time and possibly miss that ONE buyer who walks in and gets ‘THAT GREAT FEELING. I WANT this house.
Then there are the absentee second home owners who REALLY want to sell.
This might be a good time to invest 200-300 dollars. And let us decorate your home and spruce it up for that holiday curb appeal.
