Fox and Einstein are starting their annual Roma Kids North American Tour on June 27th at the White House Bistro in Saugatuck, Michigan. The second stop is at the Madison Avenue Pub and Restaurant in Toronto on August 7th. Finally, the tour will return to PV on November 14th or 15th at Fox and his wife Cheryl’s restaurant and bar, Café Roma. These fundraisers, as well as the fundraising that Café Roma does throughout the year, provide a large part of the money that helps feed about 1,500 local children every day, operate nine daycare centers, and provide an after-school program for 300 students. For more information about the program and how you can help, please visit http://www.kids.romamexico.com/.
Also on June 26th, there will be a partial lunar eclipse. In Mexico, as well as the rest of North America and South America, the eclipse will be visible just before sunrise, when the moon is setting. Lunar eclipses occur when the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon are aligned so that the Earth blocks the Sun’s rays from reaching the Moon.
