Message from President (2024-2025) FR Jorge González

Posted by Jorge González on Jan 21, 2025

Dear Rotarians,

Our special Tuesday evening activity with Lady Wilnelia Forsyth, formerly Wilnelia Merced and Miss World 1975, was both uplifting and educational. She shared her inspiring life journey from a 17-year-old high school student in Caguas to becoming Miss World, a model in Paris, an English wife, mother of an English/Puerto Rican son, and philanthropist. Recently, she has been significantly involved in addressing Alzheimer's through her foundation, stemming from her experience caring for her father and mother in Puerto Rico for 7 years during which they both battled the disease.

I am pleased to announce her upcoming fundraising event: a Golf Tournament on Thursday, February 27, at Dorado Beach, benefiting her foundation, Delia’s Respite for Caregivers. For further information, please contact Ana Aviles at 787 704-1616 or 787 206-3333.

Warm regards,

Jorge

Visit to Colegio San Juan Bosco

Posted by Delia Colorado on Jul 21, 2024

Last Friday July 20, the Santurce and San Juan Rotary Clubs visited Colegio San Juan Bosco to hand them two checks for $2,800 each, to cover the cost of a whole year for two students. Mrs. Sandra Martinez, the administrator of the school, has invited us to visit them after classes start to see them in operation and meet the recipients of the two scholarships. John Shapiro, President, Rosanna Roig and David Klau from the Santurce Club, Delia Colorado, Past President, and Tito Colorado from our Club, were the bearer of the donations.
