Lake Chapala Society is offering an important class:
Mexican Banknotes and coins, counterfeit and more.
Description: Through this workshop on Banknotes and Coins in Mexico, we will seek to know in detail and in a practical way the range of currency circulating in the country. We will inform about the denominations, designs and the changes that periodically occur in them. We will focus especially on the design and security features of each bill, in order to learn to become familiar with them, and thus make it easier to recognize whether a bill is valid or counterfeit.
Instructors: Jorge Luis Silva

Course Dates: Aug 16, 2021
Course Time: Monday, 12:00 to 1:00 pm

Lakeside Little Theatre: Season 57 MainStage – Auditions

Auditions: Thursday & Friday, September 2nd & 3rd, 2021, 10:00 am (Registration 9:30) at LLT
Show Dates: November 5 – 14, 2021
At its core, The Madres is about the strength and resilience of women. We get a glimpse inside one Argentinian home touched by the brutality of the regime in the late 70’s. Powerful, heartbreaking, tragically real.
The show needs 2 men and 3 women.
