Democrats Abroad Costa Rica Monthly Meeting - February 25 - “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act - FATCA - What it Means to You"

12 years ago

Sharon Wildey, retired litigation attorney, will speak at

DEMOCRATS ABROAD Costa Rica's (DACR) Monthly Meeting on
“FOREIGN ACCOUNT TAX COMPLIANCE ACT (FATCA) and
What it Means for Citizens Living Abroad”

WHEN: Saturday, February 25 - 9:30am - noon

WHERE: Holiday Inn Aurola - Downtown San Jose - 3rd floor. Calle 5 at Avenida 5 - in front of Parque Morazan

PARKING: FREE parking is located ONLY in the Herdonza Parking Lot which is on the East side of the hotel. At the meeting they'll announce instructions and you'll get a voucher in the lobby from the Bell Boys to present (get there early to get a space as it fills up fast on meeting days!!).

COST: Contribution 5,000 colones for coffee break and meeting room

RSVP: *Reservations are required at [email protected]
OR - call Nelleke at 2-279-3553 or 8-721-6497
*Please be sure to make your reservation if you plan to come to any DACR meeting. Our cushion between what the hotel charges us & what we charge for attendance is getting very thin. We used to order bocas for 3-5 extra people for meetings, but if we did that now we would lose money, so we order only for those who made their reservation, & then order extra on the day of the meeting. However, the hotel can charge us 20% extra if we order bocas on the day of the meeting, so we need to avoid that.
