Just what is the Lake Chapala Society ?

Hello Sid,

Here’s an article from a friend’s blog.  She has a wonderful colorful blog about she and her other half’s life here at Lake Chapala Ajijic, Mexico.

Jalisco Governor Emilio Gonzalez Marquez, leaders of the state’s technology industry, local educators, Mexican film stars all were present for the recent grand opening of the Chapala Media Park .
