I had a comment that should be given more focus. If you can help Patricia Saturday at 10:00 AM, please drop her an email. I will plan on attending, but she needs more native English speaking volunteers. Following is the comment that may not have been seen.

Hi Don
maybe you would post this as a warning to local drivers..Recently I filled up my gas tank at the Delta station on Boquete hwy (first Delta on right only about a half mile from David)..My chevy pickup has a 25 gal tank and I was not quite all the way empty yet. Probably at least 4 to 6 gals remaining in tank, so I was quite shocked to see the pump stop at 29.4 gals. Sorry, not possible. Of course the attendant knew nothing. I wonder how many people never suspect getting ripped off when they put in 20 bucks but only get 17 dollars of fuel..This place needs to be checked out.

We got there just barely in time and there was beginning to be standing room only. The first discussion that was presented was the organization of the area to support each other because of the increase in crime that is being seen in Panama in general and Chiriquí in specific. Things that were being done in Boquete were discussed and proposals for Volcan were discussed. Continue Reading »

I received the following information today and since it is from one of my favorite restaurants (Mosto Bistro) that I haven’t been to lately, I thought I would pass it on. The promotion is from March 15 til May 31. Lots of time to satisfy your sweet tooth. Print out the coupon and get a discount.
