FOCUS ON TEAM SAN RAMON
San Ramón was one of our 10 voting centers during the 2020 Democrats Abroad Presidential Primary. Judy Fried led this effort and has been involved in getting out the San Ramón vote since 2016. Her enthusiastic efforts have created an important ripple effect all across Costa Rica. In our June 26 meeting, Judy will share her enthusiasm and experiences with the rest of us.
WRITE YOUR OWN BOOK
Millions of U.S. Citizens are doing it! In the good old days, getting a book published was possible only for the very talented or the well-connected. In our new electronic world, anyone with the desire and a laptop can self-publish an ebook or paperback. Here in Costa Rica, there are several writers’ groups where authors or potential authors meet periodically to read excerpts of their writings and to discuss the ins and outs of getting their works published. Typically, they write short stories, novels, children’s books, or memoirs. Several members of DACR have self-published their own books. One of the oldest and most successful groups here is called the Costa Rican Writers’ Group, moderated by the talented Bob Brashears. In our meeting, Bob will talk about the group and explain how you can get started as a self-published author.

OUR GRECIA TEAM
For our May meeting we will feature DACR’s TEAM GRECIA. They are super-organized, hold monthly meetings to discuss political/social issues, and have led the way in voter registration and the Global Presidential Primary.
In January Grecia Team founder Angie Vachio was elected Vice-Chair of DACR. The new Grecia Team Chair is Lydia Barrow-Hankins, who got involved almost from the moment she and her husband Ron set foot in Costa Rica.
UPDATE ON IMMIGRATION ISSUES RELATED TO THE NORTHERN TRIANGLE
In light of Vice President Kamala Harris’s upcoming visit (June 7-8) to Mexico and Guatemala to address the causes of the immigration crisis on the U.S.-Mexican border, Grecia Team member Don Voelker will give us an update on U.S. aid to the Northern Triangle and its past successes and failures.
