Greetings:

Permit Your Club be one of the first to wish each of you a Happy 2023. Entering our 23rd year our membership spans over those years. We’ve been blessed having hundreds of sanmiguelenses who’ve been with us over 20 years.

Thank you, you’ve been The Club’s bedrock! Such valued support is never lost. On top of those folks we’ve many 15-10-5 year loyal members who are familiar with these newsflashes. At the same time, this particular flash for some will be the very first VIP Club Newsflash they receive.

Take it from the old timers, there has been incredible change in our fine town along, with fierce competition. We don’t have to tell any of you about rising prices everywhere. The saving-grace is that you’re here and likely you have a card.

Despite its beauty, sensational climate, festivals galore, sense of community, and natural beauty, San Miguel isn’t for everybody and sticking it out often provides challenges one wouldn’t have to deal with north of the border.

What New Year message could your Club’s president deliver as a positive thought for the coming year? I’ll say, what I believe most old timers will say, “Cuando en Roma…,” is a worldwide reminder about adaptation. Voicing “Buenos Dias,” or “Buenos Noches,” on the streets towards total strangers is a time-honored tradition in this culture.

Face it, for most of us, immersing ourselves in a foreign culture is no cake walk. Often, like me when first arriving, we might muster the courage to extend ourselves and make efforts to often lip, “Gracias,” “Por Favor,” Con Permiso,” “Buen Provecho,” and “Adelante.” One will soon find out employing those easy terms can go a long way; ask any old timer.

Regardless if you’re here for a season or a lifetime our Mexican hosts pick up on it instantly and appreciate the effort, as do all who we deal with daily.

So there you have it! Perhaps a somewhat hubris New Year’s greeting. We’ll continue, as we have all these years, to seek out restaurants and other enterprises looking to make our members long time customers. Yet within this post Your Club will provide some New Year’s menus and a little more of this and that regarding local businesses that entrust Your Club to bring them customers.

Please, all this coming year, consider Mom and Pop when shopping San Miguel. Once again Happy 2023!

Let’s get rocking!
