ROCKY POINT SANTA CLAUS CLUB

The annual Garage Sale with all proceeds going toward the Santa Claus Club was held this past November 2012 at the usual place....JJ's Cantina in Cholla Bay, Sonora, Mx..   Cholla Bay is a 15 minute drive from Rocky Point.   John Fowler started the Santa Claus Club 27 years ago to provide needy children in Cholla Bay and Rocky Point with gifts and a huge party for Christmas.  It started out helping only 40 local kids and has grown to 4500 kids as of 2 years ago.   Tourists and local residents donate items for the Garage Sale and for weekly distribution to the barrios of these new and slightly used items.  Bicycles, clothes, blankets, toys and even medical equipment for needy kids and adults as well are distributed by John Fowler and his helpers.  This 2 day event at JJ's Cantina is always a big success with everyone having a great time and getting in on some really good deals and steals.  This is an annual event in November so hope to see you there next year.  If you would like to become a member of the Santa Claus Club or donate any items please email John at santaclausclub@hotmail.com or call him at AZ #602-840-1528 and in Rocky Point at #638-382-5141.  Food, clothes, toys, etc. can be dropped of at JJ's Cantina in Cholla Bay.  www.santaclausclub.com.   Merry Christmas!
