For the 100th Anniversary we are putting together a program.  If a member would like to buy a page the cost is $25.00 for a Business Card, $50.00 for Half of a Page and $100.00 for a whole page.  I can send you the form to fill out by email or by mail.  If you would like to pick up the form, you can at the January meeting.  The deadline for submitting your message is February 10, 2012.

Also, if you know of one of the Queen’s or Princess of the club please let them know of the Anniversary Dance.  The information is on the Website and on FaceBook.

Why A Cuatro Festival in San Francisco?
Report by Don Jibaro Barbanegra
The Puerto Rican Community in the Bay area appears to have nailed down the mysteriously basic, and yet intrinsically difficult principle of how to keep Boricuas working together. They have a festival... a cuatro Festival, that is.

The "Club Puertorriqueño de San Francisco" has successfully established the tradition to be followed for years to come.These Puerto Ricans have established the quintessential Puerto Rican tradition in the Bay Area... honor to Puerto Rico's National Musical Instrument... the Cuatro. Dig the highlights...!!!
