Celebrating Intl Women's Day in March

On March 30th, I joined 50 others to celebrate International Women's Day (March 8th) and honor six amazing Mexican women.  The very elegant breakfast event, held outside on the second floor terrace of the Club France, was hosted by the Jardines de Pedregal Rotary Club (the one women-only rotary club in Mexico, all other clubs are integrated but mainly consist of male members who occasionally bring their wives along.)

The event honored six extraordinary women Silvia Pinal, actress, Yoloxochitl Bustamante, director of the National Polytechnic Institute, Marta Chapa, Gloria Guevara Manzo, Tourism Secretary, Gaby Vargas, Entrepreneur, and Beatriz Pages Rebollar, journalist and director of the magazine, Siempre, and Isabel Miranda de Wallace.
