Message from FR Enid Reyes-President Elected (2025-2026)

Posted by Enid Reyes

The SJ Rotary strategic planning meeting focused on membership management, with issues regarding accessing the system and creating accounts. The meeting discussed the need for better communication, engagement of new members, and aligning speakers with club goals. Key points included the importance of social media presence, the need for a hybrid meeting system, and the necessity of a clear strategic plan. The group emphasized the need for continuous improvement and leadership development. Upcoming events include a talk by Charles Tesler on the Navy withdrawal from Vieques. The meeting concluded with a call for collaboration and execution of the strategic plan.

Escuela Gabriela Mistral in Casteñer

Posted by Annie Evans on Apr 13, 2025

Amazing day visiting Escuela Gabriela Mistral in Casteñer to see the Design Thinking Showcase by the students. With the help of a Rotary International Global Grant, this past year the school was able to get the roofs repaired, air conditioning installed and was introduced to Design Thinking with the assistance of the Centro Educativo de Design Thinking. The creativity and designs of the kids were amazing. #Rotary#rotaryinternational #designthinking #ceddt #buenascosas

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.
