Meet, Greet and Watch a Film!

With three Events of the Arts in a week, including last week’s ArtsFest 2026; the upcoming Italo-Argentino Operetta at Cascatas del Bosque at 3:00 pm February 22, and the SVBC Movie Night/Annual Meeting, you’d think San Vito had transmogrified into a high-falutin’ International Arts and Music destination (!).

Reminder — let’s make it even better: members and guests are invited to the Wilson Garden/Las Cruces Reception building around 5:00 pm this Sunday, February 22, where you can meet Filmmaker Tomas Koeck who will host his beautiful and riveting movie “Flyway of Life”.

Soda, cookies, appetizers, beer and wine will be served. We’ll start with a brief wrap-up of the club’s 2025 activities.

Please remember to bring your 2026 dues ($30 individual, $50 family — or the colones equivalent) for the Red Collection Box at the door. And, please, drop a helpful donation for the aperitifs and savories into the Green Collection Box.

Ta-daa: Quiz Bird #6!/¡Acertijo Aviario #6!

Nilanthi kindly declined her prize so we will send our tee shirt to Linda Threatte, (first runner up) of Pisgah Forest, NC!

We had 9 entries for this contest; 7 of which were correct. Congratulations to: Mike Judd, Wendy Russell, Patty Scott, Dave Janas and Nic Korte!

Again, special thanks are extended to Bill Batsford of New Haven, CT for permission to use this photo, taken in April 2015 at the Connecticut Audubon Larsen Sanctuary in Fairfield, CT.

Nilanthi rechazo su premio debido al costo de correo; entonces vamos a enviar la camiseta a Linda Threatte, la subcampeona, en el estado de North Carolina.

Tuvimos 9 entradas para este concurso; 7 de las cuales fueron correctas.

Nuevamente extendemos un agradecimiento especial a Bill Batsford de New Haven, CT, por su permiso para utilizar esta foto, tomada en abril de 2015 en el Connecticut Audubon Larsen Sanctuary en Fairfield, CT.
