Rotary Club of Miami Accepting Haiti Disaster Relief Funds

Miami, FL – The Rotary Club of Miami (miamirotary.org) is accepting donations to support recovery efforts in Haiti in the aftermath of the devastating January 12 earthquake. Monetary donations will be directed to disaster aid and support efforts. All funds will be distributed promptly with no administrative costs.

The Rotary Foundation of Miami is a non-profit volunteer organization established in 1917 and a part of Rotary International. Checks should be made out to The Rotary Foundation of Miami and sent to 247 SW 8th Street, Suite 402, Miami, FL  33130. Write “Haiti disaster” in the notes section.

Welcome to the Rotary Club of Miami! Chartered on March 1, 1917, we are known for our enthusiasm, infectious spirit, camaraderie and commitment to serve others. We work together on a number of different projects each year to benefit our youth and our community, touching thousands of people since the club’s inception.

The Rotary Club of Miami is a District 6990 award-winning club.  We have a wide range of service activities helping our local and the international community. Join us and catch the spirit of helping others!  The history of the Rotary Club of Miami is closely interwoven with the history of our community itself. Our founding president was Dr. James Jackson, for whom Jackson Memorial Hospital was named.

In 2005, Rotary International celebrated 100 years of service to humanity with the unifying theme, “Celebrate Rotary!".  This year the Rotary Theme is "The Future of Rotary is in Your Hands" -- a call to Rotarians to use their vocations, community, family, and Rotary activities to insure the future of Rotary.  The Rotary Club of Miami celebrates over 90 years of service to our community.  Membership consists of men and women of all ages from various vocations and ethnic backgrounds.

Although membership in the Rotary Club of Miami is by invitation only, I encourage you to learn more about Rotary and what it means to be a Rotarian. We meet every Thursday from 12:15 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. at The Rusty Pelican Restaurant, 3201 Rickenbacker Cswy. Miami, FL 33149, just across the first bridge of the causeway, where there is always ample free parking. Our fellowship, greeting, and lunch begins at 12:15 p.m.; meetings start exactly at 12:30 p.m. We wear business and “Miami casual” attire.

We don't just talk about “Service Above Self" -- we live it! Come find out how you can make a difference in our community, have good fun with others, and discover how taking a break from work on Thursdays can be so rewarding. Please call or email me if you would like to know more about the Rotary Club of Miami.
