PANSY:
On
April 7th, our Club celebrates its 60th year!
On
Tuesday April 13th, we will take some time during our meeting to
celebrate our 60th Anniversary.....so please plan on being there.
We do
have a speaker lined up for the day and do not want to cut into his
time. I am asking you therefore, to arrive at Carrabbas by
noon so we can start early and give ourselves some extra time to
celebrate. This will be a great day for picture taking, so please bring
your cameras, bring a friend and call up a member who had been
absent for a while and encourage them to be there.
I am especially asking all Past Presidents to be present.
I will be in Washington DC next week,
returning on the 12th.
For those who celebrate Easter.....enjoy.
Love & appreciate,
Pansy
Induction of our newest member!

COMMUNITY
SERVICE PROJECT:
At the
April board meeting, the Rotary Foundation of South Miami, Inc. decided to
fund $150.00 towards the South Miami garden Club’s South Miami K-8 garden
project.
And in
response, this email was sent from the coordinator of this fledgling garden
project. :
The new garden will be situated
on the left side of this walkway.
Thank you so much for the dirt funding. We have a number of
estimates for dirt, however I have not decided on what vendor to use as of
yet. We are hopeful that 2 full loads will be more than enough. Most of the
quotes that I have received are about $140-$180. We will start with one
load and get it moved into the gardens, hopefully this coming weekend.
(This will entirely depend on weather and football players from South Miami
Senior High School. They are moving the dirt for community service hours.
Yeah team.)
Please convey my sincere appreciation to the Rotary for
your help in bringing this amazing project together. I am very hopeful that
there will be a spread in the Miami Herald about the garden when we get the
planting day set. I am both nervous and so excited to see this come
together. I cannot wait. The kids are very excited about it also. As of
this past weekend we have the deck walkway completed. It is wide enough to
accommodate wheelchairs and walkers. I felt that this was very important
with having more and more children at the school in wheelchairs. We want
everyone to be able to traverse our beautiful "Bird and Butterfly
Garden". I am sure that everyone will be very proud of their efforts when
this project is planted.
Again, thank you, thank you, thank you. The out pouring of
support is just amazing. I knew my town had it together. After all it only
"takes a village".

Congratulations to the Rotary Club of
John Knox Village for having six members registered/paid for the Club
Leadership Forum aka District Assembly. They must know a good thing
when they see it. For instance, we bet they know that April 17, 2010 at the Stately Signature Gardens will be filled with Fun, Fellowship, Networking, and a chance to learn about new Rotary Humanitarian
Service Projects. They are also probably aware that there will
opportunities to share best practices on solving various challenges that
face Rotary Clubs today as well as how to enhance the Rotary brand while strengthening their Club at the same time.
So why don’t you take a minute and go to click here and register yourself.
You can join these lively folks in what is shaping up to be a fabulous time
that includes not only the above but also the world renown District 6990
House of Friendship/Vendor Expo plus the star-studded Awards
Luncheon.
To those of you who have already registered
we appreciate your indulgence.
Best regards to all.
