February was a great month for fund raising at LolHa Restaurant and Snack Bar. Super bowl action helped raise money for new fencing needed around the Community Center of Akumal Pueblo.
Local residents and guests purchased commemorative T-shirts and also could purchase squares on a betting board. The total raised was $40,554 mx, with the betting board matched by LolHa at $22,600 mx for a grand total of $63,154 pesos. Not only a Super day for football, but a SUPER day for the community!
Valentine’s Day at LolHa is always a “sweet”, and this year it was sweeter! A raffle was hosted to help fund the building project of the Catholic Church in Chemuyil. Charlene Powell’s giving heart helped host the raffle of a large gift basket including rooms, meals, and more. Former Chemuyil Delegada Nilvia Lizama and some members from the church were hosted at a table to enjoy the fund raising event. Tickets and outside donation reached $300 USD and $9,650 mx. A private donation from proprietors of LolHa Restaurant of $15,850 mx was made to complete the sale of 50 tickets and match it. The grand total came to $30,600, depending on exchange rate. How great to see Akumal residents and others in the area help support another community in their dream to have a new building for their church.
