"The oldest continuously operating club in the world south of the Tropic of Cancer"
Dear Fellow Rotarians,
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season.
Now we are back and in full gear lining up excellent speakers and looking forward to the time when all our members are inoculated, and we can move to hybrid in person/ virtual meetings.
There is however a major concern, we continue to lose members at a faster rate than we attract new members. Gerry has volunteered to take on the position of Chair of the Membership Committee, but he needs the help of all of us to both grow membership and encourage more of our active members to participate in our Tuesday meetings. This is a daunting task that no one person can tackle alone. It requires all of us to pitch in. I hope everyone will do just that when he and the committee reach out you.
Thank you all,
Frank

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.
