2021 Virtual Rotary International Convention
Online Event
The Rotary International Convention, scheduled for 12-16 June 2021, in Taipei, Taiwan, will now be a virtual event in response to the ongoing threat of COVID-19.
We are sorry that we will not see you in Taipei this year, but this decision, made by the Rotary Board of Directors, is necessary to protect the health of everyone involved. We will share more details about the 2021 Rotary International Virtual Convention soon. Here’s what you need to know now:
Virtual Convention Registration
The Virtual Convention will be open to all Rotary members and participants. Event registration will open in mid-April and will include a promotional fee of $49 for 21 days, with an increase afterward to $65.
The Rotaract, Youth Exchange Officer and Inter-Country Committee pre-conventions will be held 10-11 June 2021. The cost of each preconvention event is $20. Both the convention and preconvention events include access to the House of Friendship. Please continue to check back for more details and updates.
Virtual House of Friendship
Our virtual House of Friendship is where convention attendees gather to learn about Rotary products and services, share project information, and shop.
Those interested in showcasing their product or service should email exhibitor@rotary.org for more information or to request an exhibit application.
Dear Fellow Rotarians,
The Rotary year is quickly coming to an end. We are planning what I hope will be an In Person meeting June 22 when I and the Board will present the state of the cub, reflect on the activities and accomplishments of the club in 2020/2021 and I will recognize a few of the many members that contributed to those accomplishments.
During the meeting of June 28, which again I hope will be In Person, I will pass the gravel to our President for 2021/2022, Tito Colorado and his Board.
That promises to be a wonderful meeting that, I am sure, will attract a robust congregation of our membership.
Thank you,
Frank

Introduced by Rotarian Angelique Sina, our speaker, Lcda. Soammy Acevedo, Founder of the Super Heroes Foundation,
for children with special needs who benefit from the unique curriculum offering basic education and literacy. Armed with a Masters in speech language pathology and certifications in autism, hearing loss, and attention deficit disorder, Ms. Acevedo, assisted by Dalma Gonzalez, emphasized how early investment in the lives of disadvantaged children will help reduce inequality in both the short and the long term. A program in Aguadilla with Montessori assistants and professionals in various areas of therapy is on target. One of many goals is to integrate these youngsters with other kids. Volunteers are most welcome. Our speaker can be contacted at: 787-398-0242 & 939-312-9079 or superheroestherapy@gmail.com.

Dear fellow Rotarians,
The Rotary Club of San Juan has the honor of hosting Resident Commissioner Rep. Jenniffer Gonzalez as our Speaker on October 13, 2020. We “ring the bell” at 12:30 PM and introduce the Speaker at 12:45PM.
Her presentation will be focused on Economic Development and Healthcare. Given the importance of these issues and our Speaker’s unquestionable expertise to address them, the club has made the decision to open the meeting to all District 7000 Rotarians who would like to join us. Our meetings are held in English and for the time being, totally virtual. All those who want to join us please use the ZOOM link provided in this email
Cordially,
Franklin Earle,

CONGRATULATIONS to JOSE "PEPITO" RIVERO OLMEDO, who was honored by District 7000 for his outstanding efforts as Editor of San Juan Rotary's e-Garita. The weekly newsletter delivers the Rotary message and our Club activities to members and island fellow Rotarians.
In her presentation Attorney Calero she cover macro events from 2000 to the present, including investment, consumption, employment and unemployment tendencies. The challenges we face in these time, as well as the delays in recuperation funds will also be covered. But I think most of us will be most interested in Covid 19 impact, and the executive orders and their impact on consumer patterns, and their short term impact.
