that on our own, we  invited friends to join us, and that created our first vol-
          unteer community group which seeded on us the love of giving back to the
          community. Our group grew to over 160 young people, and for our efforts we
          won a price in Baja California for our community work in San Felipe.
          As time has gone by and I have become a mother and a business owner,
          the amount of free time I have has been reduced considerably, but that does
          not  mean  that  I  don’t
          continue    supporting
          good causes. As a Mu-
          nicipal  First  Lady  it  is
          customary for me to get
          heavily involved on DIF
          program  (National  Sys-
          tem  for  Integral  Family
          Development),  but  I
          knew I couldn’t not give
          the amount of time and
          effort  that  program  re-
          quired and deserve, so I
          have taken a back seat to the people who currently managing that program,
          and taking more of a supporting role rather than an active role; to that effect I
          have contribute my time to the DIF 3 Kings Day charity toy/meals and blanket
          drive. I am also open to help anyone who request my time for a worthwhile
          cause providing my schedule allows it.
          Q: How did you felt when your husband decided to enter into politics?
                                            A: Well, I felt so many mix emotions,
                                            worried,  afraid,  happy,  but  not  really
                                            surprised  as  I  have  always  admired
                                            Jose  Luis’s  love  of  the  people  and  of
                                            San Felipe. Even though my husband
                                            is originally from Sinaloa, he considers
                                            San Felipe his birth home, as he’s been
                                            here since he was a baby. He has al-
                                            ways been very involved in the commu-
                                            nity and interested in politics. So it came
                                            as no surprise when he announced he
                                            was going to be involved in San Felipe’s
                                            political life.
