New Association for English Speaking Expats in Panama
The newest resource for English speaking expatriates is the Association of Retired English Speaking Expatriates in Panama (ARESEP).
The new organization has yet to have its first meeting but you can find them on the web (www.aresep.org) on Facebook and in a Yahoo Email Group.

If you head over to the ARESEP website right now you can even have the chance to vote for which logo you like better for the association.
