Are you dreading a cold and harsh Columbus January?  Would you enjoy taking a week-long break in Mexico?  Would you enjoy exploring a potential twin club relationship with a Mexican Rotary Club? If you answer yes to these questions, you might want to consider being a part of a Rotary Club visit to Veracruz Mexico.  Aida and I plan to spend most of December and January in Veracruz where we have a second residence.  We plan to open our home to you during your stay.  We also have a minivan at our disposal for transportation.

The Rotary Club of Veracruz will soon celebrate its 100^th birthday.  It was established when Paul Harris sent a Rotary representative to Veracruz to introduce Rotary to this port city.  The Club is undertaking several significant community projects addressing poverty and unemployment, both in Veracruz city and indigenous communities in surrounding areas.  The visit will give you an opportunity to familiarize yourself with them.  Most importantly, it will provide an opportunity to learn about the culture and customs of the Veracruz region of Mexico, including its traditional dance, music and cuisine. And it will be an opportunity to establish new friendships and greater cross-cultural understanding with members of the Rotary Club of Veracruz and their families.  We look forward to hearing from you about your interest in joining us for a week in January – planned January 12-18.
