Reporting Crime and Police Response Procedures As part of ANA’s Collaboration on Crime Prevention VEA is Vallarta’s new neighborhood-based crime prevention program – sort of a ‘Neighborhood Watch’ on steroids, providing instant reporting via Whatsapp, VEA is an acronym for Vecinos En Alerta – ‘Neighbors on the Lookout’ – and Amapas has been invited to […]
On March 23, mostly Gringo ANA co-hosted our first bilingual, bicultural celebration of international friendship with mostly Mexican sister association Viejo Vallarta (part of Emiliano Zapata) at the Lions Club, and it was a blast. Over 300 guests sampled great food provided by 40 top Vallarta restaurants and caterers, accompanied by Mariachi music. Margaritas flowed […]
Some generous ANA members in Paramount Bay have pledged about $3,000 USD = $60,000 pesos to fund Phase One of ANA’s Highway Sidewalk Project. As reported earlier, ANA commissioned an architectural plan for improving the partially paved path that runs along the west side of Highway 200. Our goal is a continuous hard-surface, all-weather sidewalk […]
Before Christmas, we improved safety, traction and the ride up Calle Hortensias from Highway 200 by installing new, meter-wide concrete tracks. Our thanks to our generous members on Hortensias and Gardenias who contributed north of $200,000 pesos to help ANA make it happen! Soon after Easter/Semana Santa – when many of our snowbirds will have […]

We’ve got a little more work to do, but we’ll finish up this week. No road work today, in honor of Sta. Maria de Guadalupe, but Tuesday our Obras Publica-supplied road crew will be busy clearing and removing the last of the debris, and Wednesday we’ll pour that last little section down at the highway. […]
In order to complete the new cement tracks before Christmas, Hortensias will be CLOSED between Villas Loma Linda and Highway 200, from now through next Tuesday, December 13.
