http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Miami_Rotary_Art_Festival
(wiki encyclopedia article)
Ltn Ross’ suggestion: meet face to
face TLC with each of the downtown merchants. The art show is not
trying to inconvenience them nor their clients.
To do: between now and Wednesday,
Feb 20th canvas the downtown area. Ann F. and Carolyn did the southside of
Sunset and
Dorn Ave. Bob, Donna, and Wendy have
volunteered to take invitations to the Sponsorship Party to the merchants. One
more volunteer is needed to go store to store and talk to a manager with a
handout and an invitation. Smile, greet and explain who we are and
why.
Our neighborhood festival wants to fit into the neighborhood as best as it
can
100% membership participation is expected!
Sign up sheets were distributed
and will be at each meeting, the RCSM has no shiftless members. 
Talk
to Diana if you plan to be out of town.
