San Juan Rotary New Board Presentation

Posted by Maria de los Angeles Rivera on Jul 05, 2022

Posted by Antonio Colorado on Jun 28, 2022

Dear fellow Rotarians,

This is my last president's letter as my term ends on June 30. It has been my pleasure to have performed the duties of the presidency of the San Juan Club for this past year. I have learned a lot. I hope this experience will help the club in the future years.

I urge you to participate in the club's meetings and activities. Please help our new President, Maria de los Angeles, your help will benefit all that we do for those in need. The services that we give to many projects and activities in Puerto Rico and abroad are very important and they are the principal reason of our existence as a club. I will continue to participate as Past President and will do my best to help our club perform its duties.

Please let me know of any ideas which you believe can help us achieve our goals.

My phone is 787-649-9426 and my email is ajcolorado@msn.com.

My very best to you all, and may God Bless,

Tito

Weekly programs, dedicated to community service, amounted to 20, either in person or on Zoom.

Gone with Covid-19, PR headed to a new normalcy

Posted by Gerry Cumpiano on Jun 23, 2020

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.
