Since its founding in 1940, the Pan American Association of Philadelphia has been dedicated to “promoting cultural, educational and economic activities designed to increase understanding and cooperation among the peoples of the Americas.” Today, the Philadelphia region is home to more than 600,000 residents who are proud to trace their roots to Latin America. Under these circumstances, the need for cultural understanding expressed by our Association founders has become much more relevant.

Rita's Italian Ice Goes Global!

A few weeks ago, PhillyBurbs.com reported that Philadelphia's beloved Rita's Water Ice had signed its first-ever international franchise agreement for the Caribbean islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao. On Thursday May 2, the Philadelphia institution that opened 20 years ago in Bensalem, announced that it would open 50 stores across India over the next several years. The company is also poised to open its first two stores in China this summer, CEO Jonathan Fornaci said. Rita's will also be opening nearly two dozen new stores and a regional office in the Los Angeles area. Read more about the Caribbean expansion project here, and the expansion into India and China here.

The World Affairs Council presents the first in its Eye on the Economy series, featuring Larry Rohter, New York Times reporter and former South American bureau chief and Hal Weitzman, Financial Times Midwest. Rohter and Weitzman will discuss South America and its rapid economic growth, falling joblessness rates and decreasing debt. They will raise the question of whether it's possible that instead of dictating to Latin America, the United States should be following its lead.
