This VIP Club Newsflash is being sponsored by
The San Miguel de Allende chapter of Democrats Abroad, a local “non-partisan” endeavor to assist U.S. citizens living abroad to exercise their right to vote.
We are offering the following Zoom sessions to assist voters on learning how to register to vote or request their ballot using the website: https://www.votefromabroad.org

GREETINGS:
There’s talk of an ancient Chinese Curse: “May you live in interesting times!”
San Miguel opens up this week. Nobody told us there would be days like this. What the opening up will mean is anyone’s guess?
This is a defining moment! Will a thoughtful and careful opening lead us out of this dark ages or be a reckless act that creates additional havoc? Let’s hope for the best.
Your Club has harped how our restaurant industry is in the fight of its life! We continue to ask our esteemed membership to support them one way or another.
Your Club will continue to pursue an array of diversified businesses and services who appear eager to align themselves with Your Club.
We have visited a number of our VIP Club restaurants. Many have been reaching out asking, “Please have your members come. We need them and we are more than happy to provide the VIP Club discount.”
Our generous participating businesses soberly realize it’s the local market that will fuel the economy.
Your Club will continue to reach out and keep on swinging to provide cardholders businesses and services that will enhance membership.
Lots to report here so let’s get rocking!

QUALITAS POLICYHOLDERS!!!!
An important message from Jose Antonio Jimenez, whose local agency represents Qualitas Insurance.
“For VIP Club members who are policyholders do know, that due to the crisis many repair shops have laid off employees and are space distancing which has slowed some repair jobs. Jose Antonio urges policyholders to be aware of such.”
