"The oldest continuously operating club in the world south of the Tropic of Cancer"
Hola.
Our meeting this week was via Zoom. We had as visitors Emma Gonzalez Monroig and Annie Evans, they both have requested to join our Club. Our speaker, Dr. Grayson Brown, could not attend the meeting at the last minute due to technical problems with his computer. However, Steve Waterman who has collaborated with the mosquito projects, gave us an orientation on dengue, for which there is an alert in Puerto Rico because it has escalated to the levels of an epidemic. He said there are 4 types of dengue, and we should take every precaution by using the proper clothes, repellent and clearing the surroundings of our homes of any containers where the mosquito could grow.
Please remember the Rotary Conference to be held on June 28, 29 and 30 at the Costa Bahia Resort in Guayanilla. You may join for the entire Conference or for individual events.
Next Tuesday will be our regular lunch meeting at AFDA, please make it a point to come to listen to Dr. Sigrid Mendoza and her research on diseases.
See you soon, have a joyful and peaceful weekend!

Rotarians Gerry Hildebrand, Salvatore Nolfo, Maria de Los Angeles Rivera and Georgie Hildebrand started San Juan Rotary Club’s newest Community Service Project last Friday Nov. 10. We read to15 youngsters at the Llorens Torres Montessori School. This begins an ongoing project with Instituto Nueva Escuela to assist in their schools by reading to the children in English and Spanish. We had a great time reading about a young Puerto Rican girl who wanted to fly her kite and become a pilot. We each took a part in the story and acted it our for the children in English and Spanish.
This project will take place in the Llorens Torres and Manuel Elzaburu schools. Please contact Georgie Hildebrand ay 831-345-5299 if you are interested in participating in this project.
