Free Spanish Lessons from Their Fellow Jail Inmates Here

I do not know why parole violators from the States seem to be drawn here. They are like moths drawn to flames, and continue the same behavior that created problems for them north of the border.

They usually wind up in a Mexican jail and are eventually deported back to the U.S.

It seems like a lot of trouble to go through.

A Canadian expatriate volunteer gets it done in México

Arlene Sieman, a local expatriate, has retired from the Playas de Rosarito Cruz Roja after ten years of service as Secretary to the American Volunteers.

She was presented with a plaque of appreciation from the Cruz Roja Consejo.

Arlene's duties included:

• Taking the Minutes at just about every meeting - the board and general Red Cross Meetings (2 a month) for ten years.

• She made sure all the necessary information got into the books, one book for each year, including all the speakers, guests, etc., plus whatever they brought - pamphlets, business cards.

• She jotted down basically what they spoke about.   All ten Minute Books are at the Office in the Red Cross Hospital.

• Every month she inputted the Red Cross Newsletter into the Minute Books. Each section had the month, i.e, January, February, etc.

• She demanded the Reports from each Board Member - i.e, Treasurer's Report, Thrift Store Report, Membership Report, etc.  They are all in there.

Since she was a legal secretary for thirty years, as a result her work was in mint condition.
