The mission of this magazine advances the mission of LCS, which is to "promote the active participation of lakeside's inhabitants to improve the quality of life Lakeside."The articles in the magazine have been carefully chosen to entertain, educate, and provide information and inspiration to live a quality life lakeside.

The magazine's name, Conecciones, reflects its purpose, with LCS acting as a link that encourages connections amongst our unique populace.With an unconventional spelling the name symbolizes the merging of cultures and ideas.
Expired US Passport The Lake Chapala Society continues to assist United States citizens to renew their passports. As of SEPTEMBER 1, our procedures will be changing. Passport renewal documents and fees will be accepted ONLY on the SECOND MONDAY of each Month. The LCS will charge a Service Fee for managing this process:
LCS Members - $300 MXN
Non-Members - $500 MXN.

PLEASE NOTE: This effort is expected to end October 4, when the US Consulate implements an on-line Passport Renewal process. Lakeside residents who cannot or choose not to use the on-line process will need to make an appointment for in-person services at the Consulate in Guadalajara. Details of the new procedures to be implemented by the Consulate are still a bit sketchy so check this site for better information as it is released.

The Service Fee is payable in cash in the LCS Office when when Passport Renewal documents are presented. The Service Fee is in addition to the Passport Renewal fees required by the US Government.

All other requirements of the US government continue as before. For a summary of these procedures, please review the information
