Our VVA Puerto Rico State Council is reporting that our members in the South of the Island and our VVA chapter in Arecibo are very grateful for the outpouring of support and concern as they continue to experience the impact of the earthquakes. Since the 6.4 magnitude earthquake on January 7, the aftershocks keep coming —7 of which have measured above 5.0 in magnitude.
The Puerto Rico State Council is asking that any donations for the initial phase of the relief effort be monetary rather than supplies and that checks be sent to the Puerto Rico State Council, One Veterans Plaza Station, P.O. Box 33177, San Juan, PR 00933-3177. For more information, contact Jorge Pedroza, President, VVA Puerto Rico State Council, 787-638-3062 or jpedroza@vva.org
