26th Annual Labor Day Scientific Meeting - 2009-06-16
Dear Friends,
By this time most of you have already received by mail (or should be receiving soon) the package that contains the information regarding the 26th Annual Labor Day Scientific Meeting, to be held at the Ginn Hammock Beach Resort in Palm Coast. Please read through all papers included in the package so as to become familiar with the important information it contains. You can also download these forms by going to the FORMS tab in the website (pamacfl.org) and click on “Ginn Hammock.pdf”.
To make reservations call 866-453-2227 (Monday through Friday) and ask for the PanAmerican rate; this is a direct number to Reservations, different from the one in the flyer. In order to reserve your choice of room please call ASAP.
Don’t forget to fill out the registration form that we sent you, mail it back in the enclosed self-addressed envelope (Miguel Lugo, M.D. 130 Stonehill Dr., Maitland, FL, 32751) with your payment.
Sunday’s Banquet and Dance dress code is “De Punta en Blanco”. This means all-white attire if possible, otherwise earth tones (like Khaki for the guys). Gentlemen, don’t worry about a coat or a jacket; this should be a casual, Summery atmosphere!
CONSIDER THIS: we are inviting willing couples who may want to grace us with a prepared, organized, “Dancing with the Stars”-style dance to participate in our own
Dancing
with the Doctors
This event will take place during Sunday’s Banquet/dance and we hope to see 4 or 5 couples participate. Prepare a 2-3 minute routine and dazzle us with your style! PLEASE inform me, if interested, by July 15.
Write back with questions and start sending in the forms and calling the Ginn Hammock soon.
Be seeing you!

The Family Picnic - 2009-06-02
Dear Friends,
We had a great time this weekend at the Family Picnic in Gotha. 109 kids (and not so kids) attended and had fun playing volleyball, basketball, dominoes, swimming in the pool, canoeing and kayaking, getting their faces painted by the clown, eating cotton candy… you get the picture.
And the food was delicious!
But don’t take my word for it – take a look at the pictures now uploaded to the website (pamacfl.org then click on “Events”).
We should all thank the organizers Vionet Segarra and Carolina Crespo, ably assisted by Elida Vélez, Zulma Lugo, Lady Pacheco and Lynette Lugo.
Don’t miss the 2010 edition of the Family Picnic!

March Sundries! - 2009-04-02
Dear Friends:
The Ladies' Luncheon was a success! A good time was had by all, contributing to the Covenant House Orlando. The Covenant House was extremely grateful for all your support. Saks Fifth Ave entertained with a fabulous Fashion Show. Check out the photos in the EVENTS section!
You will also be receiving the March Minutes by email, as well as by regular mail. This will be the last time that minutes will be mailed to your homes but they will continue to be e-mailed.
Save the date in your calendars for the Pan-American Family Picnic at Camp Ithiel, Gotha, on May 30th. The Segarras and the Crespos are working hard on this activity.
Finally, while ruminating about our August Organization, I was thinking about what the PAN in PanAmerican means. I searched and found the following:
A few days ago one of our public school teachers was giving a lesson in etymology to a second grade. She asked the meaning of the word “pan”. Several answers were hazarded, none quite correct. The teacher explained it, then added: Now, remember, whenever you see “pan” prefixed to any word you may know it means “all”.
After illustrating by several examples, such as pantheon, pandemonium, etc., she called on her pupils to write, each for himself, an example. There was much scratching of heads, knitting of brows, and other indicators of mental struggle, and at last a few hands were raised.
“Well, Tom, what is it? What have you written?”
Tom arose and, glancing proudly around, read in a loud and resolute tone: “Pancake – all the cake!”

EXCELSIOR!
