From Horace:
I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of my family to thank you
for the lovely flowers. Your thoughts and prayers have made this difficult time
in our lives easier to bear.
From Bob Miller (Cathy’s husband)
On behalf of the Board and the Homeowners, we thank you for your support of
the April 29 event. Your sacrifice helped to put smiles back on the faces of
deserving folks in need. We can’t thank you enough for the support. Hope to see
you next year – Rebuilding Together: A National Solution to a Growing Problem

PAST PROJECTS / FUTURE PROJECTS….
Located on the corner of Dorn Avenue and 53rd Street, is the Rotary Club of
South Miami’s Bench, which was beautiful enough for an artist to paint. It has
fallen on hard times since we dedicated it in 1992. It’s now shameful looking
and dingy with paint peeling etc.. At the June 5th Board meeting, we will
discuss funding the repaint and restoration. Look for more information in a
future newsletter about a Saturday AM work day to bring it up to our standards.
RYLA: June 1 – June 5, 2006
Few participants applied this year. Our club is sending two students. Contact
your clubs and your Interact Clubs. Let’s put a fire under those people that can
get this going. Please direct any questions to Marc Tecosky: 954 431-5403, Fax:
954 392-1680 Email: Interact6990RYLA@aol.com

proceeds from the
23rd Annual Arts and Crafts Festival in February.
Lydia White, Quarterly Programming Chair:
You know interesting people in your circle of friends and acquaintances. Think
of asking them to speak at a Rotary meeting.
20 minutes of their time = 1 free lunch = meeting a dynamic and interesting
group of business leaders!
President-Elect Linda Kaplan:
Still have one opening for Service Chair. This committees already has members in
place so this committee director would have more of a overseers/ recruiter/
cheerleader position rather than having to do all of the work. SO PLEASE HELP
FILL THIS SLOT!
CLOTHING DRIVE
Simplify, Simplify, Simplify
&
UNCLUTTER YOUR LIFE WHILE DOING GOOD FOR OTHERS
We are collecting Jeans for the Community Enhancement Collaboration which
provides services to the homeless and to people who are having trouble making
ends meet.
The program is similar to Becca's closet since they also keep a "closet" of
clothing and help people pick out outfits for work, etc. They are in desperate
need of Jeans and shorts for the summer for men, women, and children. Our club
is organizing a June Jean Drive (but we are starting in May). You can
leave them on Barbara Kornblau & Larry Sherry's porch at 9040 SW 64th
Court or bring them to Tuesday’s Rotary meeting.
