My
fellow South Miami Rotarians,
I

for the next few weeks.
Friday,

than usual - which means it will be more casual & relaxed. PLEASE RSVP
to Donna Gaines so that proper arrangements are made.

Tuesday,
July 1 -
President Bill will be out of town - I'll run the meeting for him - Jody
Perlmutter tentatively expected to have the Bank's Trust
Officer present this week's Program.
Monday,
July 7th - First meeting of the 2008/09 Board, 6pm, First National Bank of S.M. all
members are always welcome to attend Board meetings. The Foundation Board
meets immediately thereafter.
Tuesday,

Marcy Ullom will be on her annual Governor's visit to our club. Board
members and Committee Chairs should plan to meet with DG Ullom beginning at

Hello
Everyone:
My name is Victor Gospodinoff and I'm the incoming club Secretary for the
Rotary Club of Doral.
Marcy Ullom suggested I start a District 6990 Facebook group to make our communications a lot more dynamic.
The group has a very basic set up for now. I will need feedback from all
you. So we can include all the district events, links to websites
etc... The link is
www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=19433442130
Best regards
Victor, victorgospo@gmail.com
