We had a very successful Dry Season Picnic at the Balboa Yacht Club.  Now it is time to have another great Picnic in El Valle  We are sending this out early so you can make plans to make it a weekend event. Please reserve Saturday the 13th of March for our next picnic.

The American Society in Panama is having its 6thAnnual El Valle Picnic on Saturday 13th March 2010 and again it will be held at "Los Capitanes Hotel" grounds in El Valle de Anton. Please reserve the 13th of March for a fun filled day in El Valle de Anton.  Please come join the American Society at its annual picnic in El Valle.  From past experience it is recommended you make your hotel reservations early as this is a busy time for El Valle and this is a popular event.  We will have a cut off date of  Thursday 11 March to make reservations and pick up your tickets for the event. Check out this great picture of El Valle that was taken from the Space Shuttle. You can clearly see the mountains of Panama's central ridge, with the El Valle crater clearly visible and Gatun Lake in the background
