pappysmarket Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Things must have changed since we first went there in 2000. Back then it was mostly new members of the LCS who mainly joined "to meet some new people". So they put them at the front desk to answer questions from other newbies and promised them they would meet "lots of new people". Never mind about giving out misinformation...the idea was to make new acquaintances. Worked for lots of folks but that was our last visit.

johanson Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 I first joined the LCS in about 1998 and have been a member ever since. I am there at least once per week to attend the local weekly computer club meetings. Yes, many to perhaps most members are newbies who are learning about Lake Chapala and wanting to meet other newbies, but there are also many folks like me who go there for other reasons. Hey give it a try, it's quite economical. And you can join for as short as one month. They also have a great social area for drinking your morning coffee or perhaps having a BLT sandwich for lunch with friends or new acquaintances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure nothing has changed in 20 years. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember those two gentlemen but I do remember quite a few newbie guys deciding to dress like that after a couple of months at lakeside. New tricks for old dogs. The guy on the right.

HarryB Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Sadly, Neil James' will said the property was to be used for the benefit of the Mexican people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanson Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Perhaps because the majority of visitors and Members are ExPats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringal Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 But they do have at least one program to benefit the Mexican people, as Neill James intended: The Childrens Art program, free to all with many arts and crafts taught on Saturday mornings. Now, there is also a July art camp for a week. The Ajijic Society of the Arts yearly Open Studios Art Walk contributes funds to this group from the sale of the catalogs/admission tickets. Tickets are now on sale for this years' event happening on the weekend of February 22 and 23rd. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringal Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Would any with a negative reaction to my post tell me why they don't find the LCS Childrens Art Program to be a good thing? I'm puzzled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slainte39 Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 You will probably be just as puzzled once you find out. LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcscats Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 Most of the Spanish programs are at the Wilkes center away from main LCS grounds. Be nice old folks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
