The presentation will be in English. When he was running for office our new Alcalde told me he would be involving the community, including the expat community. This is something really special an opportunity to hear and if you choose to get involved in the next five years of change in Boquete.

Sept 16; Gene Melton, Disaster Preparedness. This is a FREE meeting, the presenter is paying so you do not have to pay the $1. The topic will be about Emergency Preparedness for Boquete and surrounding areas.
