Unitarian Universalist Fellowship

Rev. Matt Alspaugh presents “Attention Attention Attention” at the Lake Chapala Unitarian Universalist Fellowship on Sunday, March 15, at its noon service. 

The 2026 Amigo Cup returned to the Country Club de Chapala on February 26, and the conditions couldn’t have been more perfect. Under beautiful sunny skies, 75 participants took to the fairways in a high-energy scramble format, all united by a shared goal: supporting the life-changing work of Kids And Their Future.

In accordance with the Lake Chapala Society (LCS) bylaws and Mexican regulations, only current members are eligible to vote at the Annual General Meeting. Members in good standing include those holding annual paid membership in regular, student and senior categories, and those granted lifetime membership status.

Memorial gathering for Sheila Forst Ruof on March 10

Sheila Forst Ruof

(March 6, 1942 - February 21, 2026)

Sheila Forst Ruof was a resident of Ajijic for more than 30 years.  After retiring from senior executive roles in the U.S., she moved to Ajijic to start a new chapter.  

The back-to-back resignations of Lake Chapala Society Executive Director James Burns and LCS Board President Hunter Johnson this past weekend raise questions about the stability and future direction of the oldest and largest community service organization at lakeside. 

Members of Axixic Mason Lodge 31 gathered at the Ajijic plaza on Thursday, February 26 for a special community mission.
