Happy New Year to All!!

Although we normally distribute the ACAP Magazine every other month, in this special issue we want to re-acquaint you with the many ways in which you can enjoy membership in the American & Canadian Association of Peru. We also want to give you an idea of the variety of subjects we include in the magazine each issue (see pg. 12).

You may not realize the diversity and creativity of our Board of Directors. Each of them is responsible for a specific area in which they have skills that excel. Periodically you will hear from each of them in the Board of Director's Agenda page in the magazine.
(read about the nominated candidates for this year's Board on pages 10/11).

We are expanding our Outreach Programs with the idea of assisting some of the many charities who desperately need help. We can do this through designating a percentage of the proceeds from our events to the selected charities. In this arena we could use the help of our members who have time and ideas.

ACAP's Bar Nights have turned into a huge success which is attracting young and older alike. It's a great way to meet people on a casual basis. Our Beach Days (when summer ever comes) are fun for the whole family. ACAP's signature 4th of July Picnic celebrates the U.S. and Canadian national holidays and the ambassadors from each country are there to welcome everyone to the festivities. And, our newly established Wine Club is off to a great start. We want you to contribute ideas for small or large gatherings... cooking classes, anyone?

Our luncheons with members of the American and Canadian Consulates are also important as they bring us up to date on subjects that we should be aware of.

Most of all we want you to be a part of a group that provides interesting events, the opportunity to meet new friends and put your interests and skills to use by joining committees.

In my case, I'd be delighted to have you join the Magazine Committee. We like to spotlight your stories or maybe you'd like to write a bi-monthly column. You'll find our editorial calendar for 2010 on page 12. Or you can contact me at acbertsch@aol.com or through the office.
