Cozumel’s Cruz Roja, or Red Cross, in English, recently celebrated 30 years of community service.  To commemorate the event, the Museo de la Isla featured a photo exhibition throughout the years.  Thanks to outstanding community support and involvement, the Cruz Roja has been able to expand their services including the new facility, located on Av. 65, with paramedics, ambulances, and even x-ray services.

This year, the Winter Group of Cruz Roja volunteers is soliciting donations for a sonogram machine. To raise the $18,000 (USD) for the purchase, volunteers are needed the the airport and to help sell carnival beads and masks.  If you’re interested in helping out please contact Sandy Timmons at rickandsandytimmons@yahoo.com

An ex-Connecticut Yankee who has called Cozumel home for over 18 years, Laura ran away to the Caribbean years ago, bumped around the islands teaching SCUBA diving, lost some time in Jamaica, and finally stopped in Cozumel for a 2 week vacation that hasn’t ended yet. With a degree in Journalism from a fancy private college she convinced her parents to pay for, Laura writes, edits, and creates the weekly Cozumel 4 You news, social media, and promotional articles about the island, as well as moderates the Cozumel 4 You Facebook group, which currently has over 25,000 members. Her long suffering husband, Fabian, has long since resigned himself to having zero private life, as he’s been involved in her various schemes and plots since his arrival. Proud parents to a variety of rescue dogs and cats, Laura continues to be the bane of her traditional Mexican mother-in-law’s existence, as she muses her way through life in the Mexican Caribbean. ______________________________ Una ex yanqui de Connecticut quien llama hogar a Cozumel desde hace más de 15 años.
