Please be advised that the Rotary luncheon meeting and Board meeting this Thursday, February 10th, will held on Zoom only. There will not be an in-person meeting at this time. We will re-evaluate again at the beginning of next week and hope to meet in person again soon.

This is Rocio and her sister Janeth at one of the tables that Janeth’s husband built for the restaurant. The wood is beautiful in Ecuador
I will periodically bring the motorcycle around to the school to give the children a short ride up and down the street. This brings them an immense amount of joy
This was the road in front of the school and the restaurant before it was paved. I’ve bought Rocio a helmet. Renting a Motorcycle to go to the bank or go shopping was half the cost of renting a taxi
This was an evening for a fundraising at the restaurant which I created. We charge $49 a person which was the most that Rocio had ever charge for a dinner. We raised $1400 Which went to buy some new computing equipment
Here’s a photo from the restaurant. Here is a local attorney and insurance person who are interested in supporting Rocio. No, I do not only work with beautiful woman
This was my trip to the Galapagos. You have to come down and see it for yourself.
One of the nice features of meeting virtually is that our meetings can be recorded. This of course depends on your meeting host (me) remembering to start the recording (sometimes I'm a bit late in starting it).
