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,
