-LAST WEEK-

Posted by Patricia Schneider on Nov 19, 2019

San Juan Rotary held its Annual Meeting whose purpose is to inform the members of what has been achieved at both the Club level and in Puerto Rico. We have definitely made an impact on our community.

What we need are "boots on the ground." Club members willing to manage projects. Director Georganna Hildebrand gave an overview of the copious amount of Rotary Foundation Grants extended to our Club in the past years. We then heard from VP Ray Erb who brought us up to date on the activities of the four high school Rotary Interact and the Inter-Metro Rotaract Club. We will see the Commonwealth High Interact Club in action at our Thanksgiving Event on November 28 when we host the Boys & Girls Club youngsters. Service Project Director, Armand Pique, told of the many "hands-on" home repairs and rebuilding that our Club was able to accomplish with the generous help of many stateside and several international clubs.

Our financial status was reviewed. An increase in operating costs, will call for a $4 per month uptick in dues, as of January 1, 2020,

President Gerry took questions from the floor. The meeting was then adjourned.
