| August 29, 2007: Farewell Reception for New & Returning Penn Students | ||||||||
Dear Fellow Board Members: Enclosed are the photos taken at our Farewell Reception for New & Returning Penn Students. Unfortunately, only one returning student was able to attend - Ana Rosa Giannareas, who left for Penn last Saturday. The others had already left. We did have a surprise visit of Dr. Julio Lara, the College, Class of '93 and his wife - he is presently in Boston but plans to return within a couple of years to Panama and will surely become an active member of our Club. We had two high school/prep students interested in applying to Wharton next year: Fernando Lewis and Eduardo Teran. They saw the newspaper annoucement and asked if they could attend, which made it a bit more fun. They were accompanied by their fathers: Ex Health Minister Dr. Jose Manuel Teran and Fernando Lewis, Sr. Juan Carlos Canavaggio gave us a very interesting talk on wines, and for those of us from the Board that attended: Fernando, Ramiro, Ana Isabel and myself had a great time. An idea that occurred to me was to plan for next year a Farewell Reception for the Ivy League group, making it a nice occasion for a gathering. We also need ot make it a lot earlier in the month of August. The cost was $300 plus the newspaper ad. Let us plan our September board meeting for Thursday, September 13th to see how we can activate the club. If you think it is a good idea, we should maybe invite Michael Harmon, the new CEO of the Cerveceria Nacional - as we have done with other Penn Alumni in Panama in the past. We might be able to arrange our next session with a visit to the brewery and a get - together afterwards!! We have pending: election of a new board member to replace Alice Gonzalez-Revilla and invitation for Penn professor to speak. Or an Ivy League session to see a movie such as the one about Global Warming, etc. Best regards, Maurice
