We will place an attachment at the bottom of this news flash in regards to VIP Club participating establishment Arthur Murray's and their February calendar.

Our dear friends and VIP Club members and courageous entertainers, Reesha, Rick and Marilyn aka "The Literary Caberet" again dazzle audiences with whit and charm, as they have for many winters past are now presenting: "Is it Love?" a saucy review sure to be chock with amorous amusement at Planta Baja Restaurant, Canal 28 with the show starting at 8 p.m. shows take place February 8-11 and February 15-18.

One more time: Your Club, in another effort to increase local library membership and promote reading, has a great deal. Buy or renew your VIP Club membership at Biblioteca Publica during the month of February, paying standard club fee of $500 pesos for a year and YOUR Club will treat you to a library card, an 80- peso value to residents or $100 peso value for visitors. You must show photo ID and proof of residency. All cards purchased at the library will be valid until 28 Feb 2011. Cards go on sale, Monday February 1. YOU MUST SIGN UP AT THE LIBRARY since our regular outlets WILL NOT honor this deal. Also, if any member wants to take advantage of such and are currently holding a card that may not expire until later in the year, buy your new card at the Library and we will exchange your card, so members can have a free library card and they get a full year's worth of VIP Savings! Members you must have copies of your F-3, passport and proof of residency a copy some sort of utility bill for the library to issue you a library card. Not Your Club's rules but Biblioteca.

There's two for one Hurricanes, the rum kind all week long, a live Burlesque show, Sunday, Monday and Fat Tuesday at 8 pm. each night, along with a bikini contest too on Sunday. Fat Tuesday presents the seventh and could be last, "Don't Blink" before it is over parade down Hidalgo with a flat bed truck carrying King and Queen of Mardi Gras, this year's King Rafa Romo and Queen, ahem, Issac Uribe. The fabulous Maria sings and prances atop the bar Fat Tuesday night. Harry's will also offer creole and cajun specials all during the week. And the celebration also embraces dem, Who Dat Saints victory.

Thank you Antonio.

Let's give a hand a kudos to VIP Club members: Lisa Tyson, Laurie Sandefer and Linda Mclaughlin for doing a magnificent job pulling off the 4th Annual Chili Cook off. Oodles of VIP Club members attended and contributed. It was a great cause during a great day, other than perhaps that thug looking guy with the irritating east coast accent, in the dark sunglasses and fedora doing the live auction.

VIP Club member at wave-spiritofjay@usa.net is looking to rent a two bedroom home or casita, in centro, with L/R, D/R, Kitchen, Patio and Master bedroom, all ground level, next January to March, 2011. You can contact them at the printed email address.

A VIP Club Card makes for a great gift.

Welcome back home Don Clay! It's been a long tough struggle but Don's a warrior and he is thrilled to have visitors out at Los Labradores care center on the road to Dolores.
