A Little History of YOUR Rotary ClubAs the five Old Town Trolleys went from spot to spot, volunteer tour guides pointed out the community’s historic locations along the way.
The skies dumped intermittent showers that night, mostly as we enjoyed the first stop at Venetian Pool. Northern Trust executives, Rotarians Glenn Perry and Bob Bauchman, stood at the entrance of the pool with a supply of umbrellas emblazoned with the Bank’s name.
At the Biltmore Country Club, dinner was served from a pasta station, a carvery and a grill. An artist quickly sketched colored caricatures of guests and had them mounted along one wall. The evening ended at Douglas Entrance, where Tom Gary’s law firm sponsored a dessert and coffee bar – along with music that kept guests dancing the night away.
Gables Promenade ’91, the first, raised over $20,000 for the Easter Seal Society of Dade County. We started at Douglas Entrance on Saturday evening, January 26. More than 200 people paid $100 for the privilege. We’ve come a long way baby, but let’s not forget our roots.
