ANA sets itself apart from other neighborhood associations by creating community through its monthly Meet and Greet activities and Night Out events. They are great opportunities to meet neighbors, make connections, and find out what’s going on in the neighborhood. This year we’re going to try something new. We’re going to alternate between the third Thursday and Friday of the month. Since some of the ANA Board members are business owners it is difficult for them to get away on Fridays while other Board members have scheduled activities on Thursdays. Since one specific day wouldn’t work we are splitting the year down the middle. Mark your calendars with the upcoming schedule.
Interested in hosting an ANA Meet and Greet. Contact Robin Spencer at membership@amapaspv.com

Monday, August 20th was the first day of school for students in Puerto Vallarta. We all know Escuela Lazaro Cardenas with the beautiful mosaics on the outside. From the park we can hear the voices of the young children inside chanting and giggling. The children are dressed immaculately. Each classroom has a motivated teacher with 25 to 30 polite students. It sounds magical but the physical condition of the school inside does not match its outside beauty.
The president of the school’s parent group, Maria Robles, was kind enough to guide interim ANA President, Sylvia Toy, through the school that first day of classes. Students study in temperatures that would challenge the best of us. The school administration and parent’s group has been working with the owner of Los Arcos Hotel to repair and replace some of the antiquated air conditioning units in the classrooms along the park side. The windows are plastics sheets some with gaping holes.
Maria explained to Sylvia that one of the school’s most pressing needs was working bathrooms for the children and teachers. Sylvia contacted two ANA members who agreed to make sure there would be functioning bathrooms as soon as possible. By the following Monday, August 27th, Frank Horvath and Steve Ross, los Americanos (as they became known to the kids), fixed 10 sinks, 12 toilets, 4 floor drains, and one five-foot urinal.
ANA thanks them for the time and materials they donated to the school. We are proud of our members improving the quality of life in our community.

On Tuesday, September 4th at Fusion Gourmet, ANA officially welcomed Hospiten as its largest corporate sponsor. While we enjoyed a delicious breakfast, representatives from PV’s newest hospital spoke to ANA members about their new health program called MyHealth.
The four benefits of taking part of this new program include:
- A triage service designed to give you 24 hour assistance as needed.
- Emergency medical transport to Hospiten, if needed.
- A full assessment that includes: blood pressure, blood work, urinalysis, electrocardiogram, and chest X-ray. In-depth consultations with a nutritionist and a doctor to review your lab results.
- Monthly consultations with Hospiten staff doctors.
What does this service cost? Absolutely nothing until January 2019. Then the services will be $30/month per individual. Additionally, you can purchase the service on a monthly basis so if you’re a part-time resident you only pay for the months you’re in PV. Great deal!
Interested in learning more about the MyHealth program? Call 322-226-2081 and identify yourself as an ANA member. They’ll answer your questions or set you up for an appointment.

Last year ANA introduced its first Business Brochure. It was beautifully put together and featured the logos and advertisements of the many businesses that support ANA and offer its members various discounts. The professional compilation provided ANA’s business sponsors with concrete evidence of a benefit from which they could benefit – professional advertising for a low cost. During Hot Season ANA office staff and Sylvia Toy have been producing the second annual ANA Business Brochure. It has been a huge success and great fundraiser. It will be ready for distribution in October. Look for it soon!
Need home repairs? Frank Horvath, ANA member, is available year-round for all types of repairs and fix-it services. Contact him at Frank’s Fix It Company 322-118-3197. (See the Back to School Special article and find out why he’s such a special guy.)

Loss is a terrible thing. It can also be an opportunity to look at things differently. Such is the case with the sudden death of ANA President Tom Swale. There are no rules in ANA’s current by-laws to specify succession. As a result, ANA is currently operating without a legal representative. Even though Sylvia Toy, current ANA Board member, was selected by her fellow Board members to be the interim president, she cannot act as ANA’s legal representative. Additionally, several Board members have been replaced and they need to be approved.
The solution presents itself in an Extraordinary Meeting. It has been scheduled for October 20th.
We recognize that many of our members are not currently in Puerto Vallarta; therefore, the use of a proxy will need to be used. We will email the official notice and proxy to each member. Members should sign the proxy, scan it, and then email back to ANA. Upon your return to Puerto Vallarta, please plan on providing the original proxy for ANA’s records.
So, ANA will send you the email on October 1st.. We’ll give you 10 days to get it back to us. For those of you in town, we’ll be holding the Extraordinary Meeting on October 20th.. More details to follow.
