We know that if we commit in writing, with you, our friends and followers that it will be done!
Wish us luck for next season as we plan to accomplish the following before November.

**We will plan another Fundraising event for an entity or group in Lo de Marcos
**We will redesign our Website to allow for better functionality and ease of use.
**To increase our office space at Luis Echeverria #9 and have all of our Lo de Marcos services under one roof.

Lo de Marcos is pleased to welcome a terrific new restaurant to town!
D´Gracia Restaurant is located at Luis Echeverria #29.
