Mexicali Summer Kickoff Party

Get your dancing shoes on and join us for the First Annual Summer Kickoff Party at Mexicali Fresh Prince's Wharf.

Get Out and Vote!

Hayden as Uncle Sam urges you to get out and vote - aided by his sidekick Dwight as Little Red Riding Hood. Once again our staff took to Halloween like ducks to water, even though it's not a huge holiday in NZ. We also hosted a very fun event on Halloween Eve for the American Club in Newmarket.

JB and I are preparing for our first joint trip to the States this weekend. We will break up the trip with 4 days in Honolulu, then on to Bend for a week, then to Carlsbad for Thanksgiving and a quick side trip to Palm Springs to visit with the snowbird friends we will miss in Oregon. We are so ready for a break, and I'm sure our wonderful crew will do quite well without us. Janet is well ensconced as keeper of the corporate purse strings, and Tyler and Conor have things under control.

While this will be the first election I have missed since I was able to vote (McGovern 1972) I am hopeful that the result is clear and decisive, and there are no recriminations over voting irregularities. Whatever your preference, please make your voice heard! The USA (or America as it is known to the rest of the world) is still the gold standard to which everyone aspires. When you vote, you are helping to set the path for the future of planet Earth.
