THIS WEEK

Sept 20: Moderator Lee,   For all who wonder about all those celebrations and all the partying that seem to be Panama, this is your chance to hear what it's all about. If this is your first year in Boquete and you have not yet experienced a November here, this presentation will prepare you for all the festivities. Bring a bottle of seco, a box of milk and introduce yourselves to Seco con vaca; well just make believe if you want to be able to walk back to your car. After this Tuesday you will be in the spirit for November, rain or shine.

A Presentation about Chiriqui's Culture, Customs and Traditions, with special emphasis in each town's "patronales" and "ferias" Presented by Haba Ya Spanish School

Sept 27:  Moderator Lee. I have asked the Klaf family to speak. They are a family of five traveling the world and exposing themselves to new cultures and ideas. They volunteered at a school in Costa Rica and at least on Ning they have made some waves. I found their website very interesting. They have a story to share and it can help all of use to see a young family and learn from their experiences.

October 4:  Hans Lebuser will be discussing the Boquete Jazz Festival

November presentations will be about Panama. It is the month of Panamas patriotic festivals and all month we will be hearing about Panama. So far three topics have been selected.
