Making a Splash- Rotary Club of Playa del Carmen Seaside, Mexico
Article in The Rotarian July 2019 Edition

In 2012, three retired Americans met for a drink in a bar in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. All three had been members of Rotary clubs in the United States before moving to this low-key beach town on the Yucatan Peninsula, an hour south of Cancun. Like many people from the United States and Canada, they had spent time here on vacation — coming for the world-class diving, the fishing, the golf, the Mayan ruins. Eventually, each of them decided to move here permanently.
