District Peru – America gives recognition to the work accomplished by José Pilar Sánchez

Luis Moreno, newly elected International Board Member (2020-2023), convened a meeting via Zoom to give recognition to the work accomplished by José Pilar Sánchez Gonzales as International Board Member in the years 2016-2019.

A la cita asistieron, Jorge Minuto, presidente del Club de Buenos Aires, Pedro De Souza, presidente del Distrito Brasil, Bernardo Pavisic, del Club de Cochabamba – Bolivia, Eduardo Gurovich, presidente del Distrito Chile, Danilo Carrera, presidente del Distrito Ecuador, Socorro Samaniego, presidente del Distrito México, Víctor Castro, presidente del Distrito Perú, Edgardo Ettlin, presidente del Distrito Uruguay, y Carlos De León del Club de Maldonado – Punta del Este.

La parte anecdótica de la reunión se dio cuando Luis Moreno, mostraba desde Lima el plato recordatorio y ofrecía entregarlo en forma presencial en el Congreso Panamericano; a la misma vez, Socorro Samaniego, en México, entregaba a José Pilar una réplica fotográfica del mismo plato.

El homenaje fue muy emotivo y sirvió para acentuar la amistad entre los panatletas de América, recoger experiencias anteriores y comentar acerca del Congreso Panamericano, que -Dios mediante- se organiza para octubre del 2021; y que servirá para que tanto panatletas de Europa y América incrementen sus vínculos de amistad, siempre presentes en las reuniones del Panathlon Internacional.
