Skal International MIAMI Newsletter February 2010 Club #65

Message from the President

Dear Skal Members,

It’s hard to believe we are already in the month of February. Our special event at Johnson & Wales is just a few days away and as usual promises to be one of the most enjoyable and special when it comes to culinary delights. I know we just have a few spaces left so if you haven’t sent in your reservation and meal choice, you must hurry in order not to be left out!

I want to thank Robert Lacle and his staff for an excellent event this past month. The food and service were both exceptional. All of us in attendance had a great time and it was nice to “show off” for our visiting SKAL dignitary Hope Phelps.

Membership renewals are coming in nicely but this is now the time of opportunity to

encourage your peers to become part of the “Greatest Rotary Club” and enjoy the networking and great venues we have this year. Remember you are doing them a favor to invite them to experience the Amicale at our club.

Looking forward to seeing you all at Johnson & Wales Tuesday night…

Yours in SKAL,

Nina
