Aurita’s Cozumel Corner

Hello everyone. I just read a question posted in Cozumel4you about problems getting United States Netflix and Hulu, etc. in Cozumel. Here is what I have in the Cozumel Sun on the subject. I have not updated the section in a while. Cablemas has improved somewhat as far as speed. I have kept them and added Telmex (Infinitum). Between the two companies I am ensured to have internet service at the community store where I have computers available to the neighborhood children to do their homework.

Update on Brandon: His next scheduled appointment is in six months. A second eye operation is almost a certainty. As soon as I know the details, I will inform you. Thank you again for all of you that made the operation, medication, transportation, and his new glasses possible.

Update on my son Bartolo Martinez Martinez: The pins are out!!! We now have therapy for a few months. He is still in a lot of pain and his arm is swollen, but all of it is normal, considering the injury.

NEW Plumber/Electrician Recommendation: We were without water pressure and hot water for about four weeks. What a headache to heat water on the stove and bathe with buckets of water as the ancestors! Once again, a silver lining! We found a wonderful plumber / Electrician that has restored the hot water system and we actually have water pressure without the need of one of those pressure machines! His name is Leonides and he can be reached at 987-119-3594. He was fast, reliable, and professional!

Update on My Operation: My surgery, rescheduled for January 18, has once again been canceled due to emergencies at IMSS. The new date is February 8th.

Stop with the Plastic Straws!

Did you know that an estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs? If we don’t act now, by the year 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. We’ve made the change to compostable cups at Buccanos and are proud to be doing our part!

Sun Garage Sale: Now collecting items for Distribution and Sales: Please keep donating the items you do not need, drop it off anytime day or night, or call and we will pick up!

Our Neighborhood Store: Do you need Office Supplies, School supplies, copies, printing, book binding,  laminating, or internet access? Give Papeleria Mama Lilly your business!  Store proceeds go towards helping a local family become self-sufficient.  Located with The Cozumel Sun Offices in my home at 35 Avenida Sur Entre Calles 17 & 15 Bis Colonia Independencia.

In addition to gift bags, wrapping paper, novelty items and gifts, we now carry AVON and MARY KAY Products! Catalogs are in our store! Stop by browse the catalogs and order your favorite Avon or Mary Kay Products! We have started stocking MK Fragrances and cosmetics and some Avon Fragrances will be in stock this Friday.

Again, our home houses The Cozumel Sun Office, Papeleria Mama Lilly Store, our Collection Center and Garage Sales. We are located at #1081 35 Avenida Sur between Calles 17 and 15 Bis.
