Fellow Rotarians,
Our meeting this week was dedicated to administrative issues during an Annual Meeting required by our By-Laws.
The new Board for the year 21/22 was introduced and the incoming President Antonio( Tito) Colorado addressed the members emphasizing the need to grow our membership and asking the help of every member of the club to take part in this important endeavor.
The Board also presented the annual budget approved for the Rotary Year 20/21. The budget anticipates a break-even performance and importantly does not expect any increases in member’s obligations for the club the District or Rotary International.
The Board also presented an update of a wide array of projects that we are working at this time in partnership with clubs from the US, The Rotary Foundation, and local organizations.
I want to thank the Board for their dedicated work and their clear and concise presentations.
All the best,
Frank

Given the importance of these issues and our Speaker’s unquestionable expertise to address them, the club has made the decision to open the meeting to all District 7000 Rotarians who would like to join us. Our meetings are held in English and for the time being, totally virtual. All those who want to join us please use the ZOOM link provided in this email
Cordially,

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.
