Hi everybody,

On behalf of the Beltran family, wanted to make you aware of and ask you to participate in a contest conducted by a popular newspaper in Tijuana, Mexico. Alvaro is competing against several other local celebrity-athletes for that journal's title of "favorite sportsman".

It takes just a second to cast your vote over the internet at the following link:

The voter count is kept as well, so you can see how close the race is - he has a good chance if he can bump up participation.

For those that may not be aware, racquetball is a fairly mainstream and recognized activity in Mexico. Since he is competing against athletes from other sports, casting your vote is an easy, free opportunity to get the sport in the headlines for some free promotions and good will. (Alvaro was just nominated by a different agency in Tijuana a few weeks ago for a similar type of award).

If you have a minute, follow the link and click on the button for Alvaro, "jus like dat".

The contest ends Friday, and you can vote once every 24 hours.
Thanks in advance,
Kathy
