Dear fellow Rotarians,   

  This Tuesday September 28 we will have an open house for our members and their guests. We urge our members to participate and invite friends that may be interested in learning more about our Rotary Club of San Juan.  

We will also take this opportunity to induct two new members, Angelika Ilina and Joel Sanders. 

Get up to date on what our club is doing and share with us a few moments. 

I will continue to contact as many members as I can but please feel free to call me, send me a message or an email with your comments. My phone is 787-649-9426 and my email is ajcolorado@msn.com.    

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

Tito

Guest Speaker, Ms. Thrity Vakil, President of Tropic Ventures Research & Education Foundation at Las Casas de la Selva, a 1000-acre Sustainable Forestry & Rainforest Enrichment Project in Southeast Puerto Rico.  It has worked on tree planting, tree-id, selective harvesting, milling, and wood-drying operations for two decades, and has led sixty Earth Watch research teams into the forest, observing, measuring, monitoring, and planting, hundreds of trees.  Our speaker directs endangered species conservation & recovery within the Tropic Ventures Forest & propagates trees.  Thrity, of Iranian heritage and a native of Kenya, Africa, received her higher education in England.  In February of this year, she won an innovation award from Yale University's International Society of Tropical Foresters. Needless to say, her talk generated many participants in the Q&A period.  She was introduced by fellow-Rotarian, James Kennedy.

Cordially,

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

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.
