GENERAL MEETINGS

Participation in our monthly meetings (usually held on the first Friday of each month at the Saint Michael and All Angels Church Hall, Minerva 1, Col. Delicias, Cuernavaca, Morelos at 9:30 a.m.) which feature either a guest speaker presenting a variety of topics or a specific event (health fair, rummage sale, holiday bazaar). The meeting includes coffee, tea and goodies. Details of each month’s meeting can be found on our events page.

As many members have varying opinions & experiences with professionals in our community, we suggest you do your own research before consulting one of our speakers. Our presentations are meant to provide general information from the perspective of each of our speakers, but are not meant to address individual situations.

We are most appreciative of the speakers who this year and in the past have generously taken the time to share their knowledge and expertise with us.
