complements from the artists saying how well they were treated. This
differentiates us and makes a big difference. We have a reputation for creating happy
visitors and artists. The Pearls,
previous members of the club, left $2 happy dollars when they visited the
art show. From Diana I give one
happy dollar for each of the 25 years for the art show – Diana

The King Pins Challenge
Mayor Feliu is requesting your participation in
"the King Pins Challenge", an inaugural event to
benefit Informed Families and the South miami Drug-Free Coalition.
The event is co-chaired by State Rep. & former Mayor Julio Robaina,
Mayor Feliu & former Mayor & President of Chamber South, Mary Scott
Russell.
The organizations are the premier local ones involved in providing drug and
alcohol free lives to the children of our area.
To learn more, log on to www.informedfamilies.org
All 13 lanes at Splitsville will be used for this event. Each lane is captained by a civic or
business leader or representative from our community, who will field a team
of six players total. The lane sponsorship is $750 (for the 6 players).
The six bowlers solicit pledges for the number of pins they'll score -
similar to pledging per mile for walkathons. The pledges can be any amount
per pin - or a flat amount. Teams will bowl two games and the total score
of the two games will be used to calculate the pledge money.
Trophies will be awarded for the Top Team Score and Top Team Pin Pledges.
Each team member will be provided two complimentary tickets to the event to
cheer on the team. This entitles the guests to the buffet & non-alcoholic
beverages. Otherwise, guest tickets are $20 for additional spectators.
Purchase a ticket to cheer or heckle!!
