Dear Rotarians,
We had a wonderful fellowship last week at Ambrosia and were joined by a past rotarian George McDougal and a past club president Evelyn Trinidad-Toraño from Hallendale beach- Ventura Rotary club in Florida. As mentioned by president Enid Reyes in the newsletter last week, we are trying a new schedule to see what benefits most members. On Tuesday you are invited to join us at AFDA club at 8:00 AM for our very first breakfast meeting. Our speaker will be club member Rob Bolt on Design Thinking and how we can join this community service project. We look forward to seeing you!
Yours in Rotary,

 
Juanita

Wine, Fellowship, and New Beginnings
On August 12, we hosted our first social event under my presidency at Ambrosia Wine Shop, with about 15 members and guests in attendance. It was a lively evening of community building, laughter, and warm connections. We were especially delighted to welcome a visiting past president, Evelyn Trinidad-Toraño from the Hallandale Beach-Aventura Rotary Club in South Florida with whom we exchanged club flags, and a fellow Rotarian neighbor who joined after learning about the event through our E-Garita.
Manolo, Ambrosia’s manager, guided us through an engaging tasting of four wines — a sparkling Cava from Spain, plus selections from Italy, Greece, and Lebanon. Along with the wine came stories, camaraderie, and the joy of seeing familiar faces.
This event also marks the start of our new meeting schedule:
  • 1st Tuesday: Lunch at AFDA
  • 2nd Tuesday: Evening Social (location varies)
  • 3rd Tuesday: Breakfast at AFDA (8:00 AM)
  • 4th Tuesday: Zoom Meeting (12:00 PM)
Our goal is to offer flexible meeting times to better connect with members and welcome new friends into Rotary. We look forward to seeing you at our next gathering!
