Lake Atitlan Directory

Email: Lake Atitlan Directory [Re: Downsizing and Dreams

Dear Pamela,

I missed the part about "do I need a sales rep?" You might have been joking, but:

Yes, when things finally get started we WILL need a sales rep, here and in the states! I have no money to build anything yet, but hope when I get back I can get started with SOMETHING. That's what counts, doesn't it?

So look at my Lake Atitlan blog and do a google search for that and for Panajachel, the town largest town on the lake that I live in. I'm working on a Lake Atitlan Directory right now that I also need help with, as I'm adding stuff to a wiki page that I hope to condense and publish as part of the telephone directory. It's rough and mostly a place to store interesting info at this point. I am collecting info in all kinds of places right now (see links below) and hoping to find one that works the best so everything can be in one place. I think the Facebook page for the Lake Atitlan Directory will do it, at least I hope so. That, with a link to another web page where everything is stored and available. If you have time, take a look.

You could honestly help me right now, as a volunteer, if you want right from where you are (another friend is doing this from Oregon since she wants to retire here in a few years). Plus this will help you familiarize yourself with the area. Lots of gringos are coming down around here, and in Honduras and other Latin American areas.

By the way..I was partially kidding about Sales rep, but if the opportunity to get others on board came along....I would seriously consider it. There are 70 million baby boomers in USA looking to retire and downsize....that is a HUGE audience to look to. Pamela

My response:

That's what I thought, too. Maybe we need to "put the word out." Hmmm. Ideas?

Welcome to the new Lake Atitlan Directory on WikiSpaces.com at http://lakeatitlandirectory.wikispaces.com/

The Lake Atitlan Directory & Resource telephone book will have yellow and white pages, with maps, links, websites, emails and more. We will have a printed directory and an online internet Directory, which can be updated and printed at will.

WikiSpace is an interactive site, so anyone will be able to add to it, much like WikiPedia. The LakeAtitlanDirectory.wikispaces.com will be a very useful resource to connect everyone to each other, with help, sharing, caring, donations, sales, classifieds, schools, churches, activities, arts & crafts, culture, and much, much more. Whatever people want and need will be able to be posted here! It can also be linked to FaceBook.com, which is another great connection space, for both businesses and personal activities and events.

Gabriela, Sandra, Sue and I are hard at work on the Lake Atitlan Directory & Resource Guide and hope it will be ready late Spring 2009 for it's "unveiling." Check back here! If you'd like to be a part of this, volunteer to help, or have something to add, feel free to write directly to me at catherinetodd2@gmail.com.

We all love Lake Atitlan, and hope this will be another way for us all to enjoy it, care for it, and share it. There aren't many places like this little piece of heaven where we live now. Let's keep it wonderful!

THANKS! Catherine Todd
