By "fellow countrymen," do you mean Texans or other 49-staters? Because there is a difference, I've been told.

A letter we received "for your editorial board":

During the years that I lived in Puerto Rico, I was president of the Texas Society of Puerto Rico, a group of Texas expatriates, along with anyone else who was of an independent mind, enjoyed country and western music, Tex-Mex cuisine and chili con carne. With our annual Chili-cookoff on the beach (sanctioned by "CASI" - the "Chili Appreciation Society International", we raised over US$30,000 for local charities.

Are you aware whether any similar organization currently exists in Costa Rica, or, whether there are a sufficient number of my fellow countrymen who would be interested in forming such an organization, for social and community service purposes. Our motto in Puerto Rico was "we party for charity"!
