Feb 3: Nodier Atencio, Director of the Boquete Corregidores. He will speak about the role of the Corregidors in Panama and how you can use their services. The Corregidores are the local law enforcement officials, appointed by the Alcalde and it is important for all residents to understand the role they fill in the event they have criminal or civil issues.

Also there will a unexpected guest from Panama City, Anabella Rosania,  announcing a opportunity for local laser treatment for cosmetic purposes. She does this in Panama City but if there is enough interest she will schedule for Boquete.

Feb 10: Almost direct from Las Vegas! Harry Hunt will make believe we are at an International Living Meeting and do a monologue on what looks good for investments in the Boquete area. As some might remember, and others have tried to forget, Harry does a wonderful and usually entertaining presentation.

Feb 17 Alto AL Crimen Annual report to the community and proactive seminar.

Feb 24   If you have property in the District of Boquete, you may be wondering: what to plant? What will grow where you live? In the space that you have?  Where to find the right plants? How to plant and care for them? You need to consider altitude, sun, wind, water, and soil quality, what fertilizers and where to obtain or manufacture them. Consider your goals: decorate your walks and terrace? Grow fruits/vegetables? Rehabilitate old pasture, restore habitat for birds and other wildlife?

I will share some of our decade's experience gardening and farming here – with photos and an annotated list of trees and shrubs for every purpose – some of which are for sale from our small vivero.

Peter Sterling, Finca Tangara, Palmira Abajo
