Happy New Year! Our Christmas Dinner & 20th Anniversary Celebration was a resounding success. We thank you for your participation. For those that were not able to make it, it was held at the Trattoria d'Americas. The food was superb, and so were the wines. You missed out on a great party!
Pictures are available on our website, in the Photo Gallery. Enjoy!
JANUARY SPEAKER:
As usual, the first Wednesday of the month is when we hold our meeting. Please mark it on your calendar! This time around, Wednesday, January 03, 2007 at 7:00 p.m. at our usual location, the Niko's Cafe in Balboa.
PHS member Sandra T. Snyder will be presenting her very latest book, "Spies, Crooks and Others Along the Way".
Book Description from Amazon.com
Sandra T. Snyder author of Living in Panama has long been known as the person to call for whatever you need to know about Panama. In her new book she takes us back to where it all began and answers that oft asked personal question, "what brought you to Panama." The answer, of course, is "a sailboat." While that is how they came to Panama, and the book addresses their sailing adventures, Spies, Crooks and Others Along the Way, not about sailing. Sailing south from San Francisco to Mexico, on to Costa Rica and Panama, the first time, presents a whole new world to this corporate executive recently retired. From Panama she and her husband's adventures continue through Guatemala, the Intercoastal Waterway of the U.S. and all the way to the Canadian Boarder. Before eventually returning to Panama, they will sail the islands of the Caribbean from the Virgin Islands to Trinidad and across the Spanish Main. Spies, Crooks and Others Along the Way is a collection of short stories about the people met along the way. There are some interesting people, too, from shrimpers to Ambassadors; from farmers to Presidents; questionable characters and more. All the while, her continuing love of Panama shines through.
