Thank you to Bill Quesenberry and Walter Alvarez who ventured out to our latest 'happy-meet' at Carlos and Cathy Ruiz beautiful home this past Friday evening. We shared lovely Rotary fellowship, good food, and great wine while planning our upcoming community service projects. Some of the highlights of our meeting were:
Gables Fitness Exercise-a-thon - Saturday , October 1, 10 am: Our club is gathering to exercise together at Gables Fitness 112 Valencia- to raise funds for the JO BURKE fund. Your $20. goes back to our community service projects, especially the ones that Jo loved so. Please RSVP to
deena@ba-la.com to save your spin bike or spot in the exercise circuit. Thanks to Glenn Greer and Luis Bejar, owners of Gables Fitness, for donating their fabulous facility to us for the morning!
Coral Gables Bike Day- October 23- 8am-6 pm. Frank Sexton and Yoli Woodbridge will be heading up our group of volunteers to assist with this family friendly Coral Gables event.
International Kids Fund Halloween Party- October 31, 4-7 pm. Judy Pantoja is organizing a party for the children at Jackson Memorial Hospital who are awaiting life saving treatment. These children come from the Caribbean and South America to be treated for serious illness by this organization. The kids look forward to our committee members spreading Halloween fun and treats while dressed in costumes.
Thank you to Yoli Woodbridge, Pat Morris, Debbie Swain, Carol Alexander, Sally Baumgardner, and finally Deena Bell Llewellyn ( me) for playing bingo with the Veterans at the VA Hospital yesterday!
Our next community service happy-meet will be in early October at Carlos and Cathy Ruiz' home again. They will be hosting a few GSE students at their home in early October. We will have our next meeting when the GSE students are there so they can participate in a real Rotary Club of Coral Gables committee meeting. The specific date will be determined...so stay tuned!
YIRS,
Deena Bell Llewellyn, Community Service Chair 2011-2012
