OPPORTUNITY AT MIAMI SCHOOL:
Gaga is a fast paced, high energy sport played in an octagonal pit. The more players, the better! Dubbed a kinder, gentler version of dodge ball, the game is played with a soft foam ball, and combines the skills of dodging, striking, running, and jumping, while trying to hit opponents with a ball below the knees.
Rotary has an opportunity to expand our involvement with Miami School. We have plans, but need construction expertise. Can you help? Contact MARTI GUTWEIN or RHONDA OVERMAN, Local Projects Committee.
As part of a celebration of National Philanthropy Day, JACK and LETA KELLEY were honored on Tuesday by the Association of Fundraising Professionals. Congratulations, JACK and LETA.
