  • It was a Zoo last week

    Walt Lee examines critter from Sanford's Zoo
    Terri Beigel, Community Resource Manager of the Central Florida Zoo gave us a short history of the now well renown attraction starting with the fact that it began behind a firehouse?
    Terri's message was "we want to see you at the New Central Florida Zoo." If you are an animal lover and enjoy visiting zoos, a membership of $35 (individual) can gain you admittance to practically all the zoos across the nation.
    For membership information call: (407) 323-4450 ext. 100 or e-mail: Membership@centralfloridazoo.org

    On the last week of the month between March 26 to March 30 (Monday - Friday), Casselberry club members will be visiting neighboring clubs to "sing the club's praises."
    If you have not signed up yet, Gary will be making an announcement and passing around the sign up sheets for the different clubs:

    • Monday, March 26: Winter Park Breakfast
    • Tuesday, March 27: Maitland & Longwood
    • Wednesday: No meeting
    • Thursday: Altamonte Springs
    • Friday: Seminole County South & Winter Springs

    The sign up sheet has the location of the meeting. All of these clubs are breakfast clubs and we encourage everyone to show up around 7:15 a.m.
    A member of the Club Administration committee has been assigned to be a team captain. He or she will contact you to give you directions and instructions.
    We have an opportunity to "brag" about our upcoming events and much more.


    Picnic, Installation Banquet...save the dates

    We are organizing our annual picnic in conjunction with another Rotary club in the area (maybe two?) to be held on Sunday, April 29 at Secret Lake Park in Casselberry from noon - PM. Mark your calendar.
    Our Installation Banquet (new president, officers and board members) will be held at the Dubsdread Country Club in College Park on Wednesday June 27.
    This banquet will replace our regular meeting. Cocktails at 6 p.m. followed by a sumptuous dinner at 7 p.m.
    The keynote speaker is past district governor Dave Apfelbaum delivering a very timely Rotary message - Rotary Shares.
    The price is $45 per person. Mark your calendar.


    District Cruise Conference...a great vacation getaway
    Cruise ship Fantasy

    When was the last time you went on a full week vacation overseas for under $1200? This the price for two in a cabin and includes port charges plus a polo shirt and a t-shirt for each occupant. You just can't beat it.

    You have to check out the District Cruise. Yeah, there will be a whole six hours of Rotary plenary sessions to attend but only when at sea.
    The rest of the time you will have the opportunity to relax, eat and be entertained.

    The cruise leaves from Port Canaveral on November 10 and returning on November 17. The ports of call are: Nassau, St. Thomas and St. Maarten

    Fifty nine cabins have sold so far without promotion and the district has reserved 120.
    If you need to treat yourself to a getaway, this is the time to sign up!
