ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

DONATE:
Has my blog helped in any way? Helped find something•brought more EASE? More exposure or business?
I welcome you to show YOUR appreciation for my efforts!
ANY size DONATION is APPRECIATED!

VOTER REGISTRATION•Help Fill Out Ballots Training Workshop - NOW Sept. 22 - Hosted by Democrats Abroad Costa Rica


To Democrats Abroad Costa Rica (DACR) members or Democrats interested in getting involved/helping out to GET OUT THE VOTE!!

DACR will have another

VOTER REGISTRATION•Help Fill Out Ballots
Training Workshop

at Giana Wayman’s lovely penthouse apartment in Escazú (she hosted one 2 years ago that was lots of fun).  She will also provide a delicious lunch!

WHEN:
 DATE CHANGE
Saturday  -  September 22  

10:30am-1:30pm (includes lunch time)

WHERE:
Giana Wayman’s condo in Escazu (up near Le Monastere)
(you'll recieve directions when you RSVP to Nelleke)

WHY:
We need to get ready for our
Drop-in Voting Center at the Holiday Inn on
Saturday, September 29
where we will help people fill out the FWAB, Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot (the FWAB is the “generic” ballot for people living abroad who did not receive their state ballot).

It is important that you come, even if you attended the workshop 2 years ago.  You will meet the rest of the team.

At the Drop-in Voting Center 4 years ago we were swamped, so

They NEED LOTS of Volunteers

This workshop will help you get ready to help people fill out their FWAB. 

They also need people with laptops on September 29

because some folks don’t know if they are registered to vote, so we need to be able to check that, and help them fill out the FPCA, too, if they are not registered to vote.


Please REGISTER for this workshop as soon as possible.  

Let Nelleke know if you need transportation, and from where, so we can hook you up with someone who is driving, or who wants to share a taxi.
Thank you, and hope to see you on the 8th!

Do you just know how/where you can register to vote if you're living abroad?  Go to:

PLEASE "SHARE" this link with EVERY AMERICAN you know!!!


(COMMENTARY FROM VICKI:  For those Americans you know that say they're no longer voting since they've left the U.S. - ask them if they're currently receiving Medicare or Social Security as BOTH of these are SERIOUSLY being threatened!!!!  So if they don't vote and they were to loose either, they'd have NO ONE to point fingers at/blame but THEMSELVES)
