Tickets are now available for the Lakeside Garden Guild’s 2024 Floral Art and Design Show! This year’s floral extravaganza will be an event to remember! The show will be held on Saturday, November 16, 2024 from 3 - 6 pm at Privada Revolución #1 in Upper Ajijic. Once again the Guild will be selling some of the arrangements to the public and Efren Gonzalez will be with us painting another memorable work of art that will be auctioned at the Show. All of the proceeds from this event will go to the Garden Guild’s annual community project.
You can purchase tickets from Sue Williams at senorasue44@gmail.com or any Guild member.Tickets are 500 pesos and include canapés and a complimentary drink.
The Lakeside Garden Guild has always been committed to an annual Community Project and the profits from this year’s show will be spent in support of purchasing computers for elementary schools in Ajijic which do not have funds to purchase these learning tools.
