President Jennifer Bates Message
Hello!
 
We celebrated our Annual District Conference last weekend, including a visit from our Rotary International President John Germ and his wife Judy.
 
It was a full weekend of good food, music and sharing of information in a spectacular location.
 
As a run-up to the International Convention in Atlanta in June it was a success!

LAST WEEK
 
Brought back by popular demand, this week's special guest received the most requests for a return visit.  Douglas Leff, Special Agent in Charge of the San Juan Division of the FBI, gave an update on the various responsibilities facing his area: Organized crime, money laundering, internet fraud,  terrorist financing and asset forfeiture investigations, to name a few.  The Q & A period was lively with many Rotarians participating.  A native New Yorker, Mr. Leff began his FBI career in his hometown, and was promoted to Unit Chief in the Financial Crimes Section at FBI Headquarters in Washington DC, before assuming his present position as Special Agent in Charge of the San Juan Division.
