Over 120 people enjoyed a wonderful dinner of savory mojito pork and chicken, killer mojitos, fabulous cigars, beautiful art and decorations, personlized palm readings and of course a great band playing Latin favorites. The event was held to raise money for the Joe Ortiz travel fund and to show our appreciation to Joe for his upcoming appointment as President of the Florida State Elks Association. There are a lot of people to thank for making the evening a success, but none more than the party-goers. It was a very special evening and it was just great to see so many Elks from other lodges enjoying the fun. A special thanks to Tom Pezzino and Jefry Biehler from the South Miami/Coral Gables Lodge and also to Mario Catalano and Don Kaminska from the North Miami Lodge for simply donating the price of a ticket even though they couldn't be there. That perfectly illustrates the true nature of our motto: Elks Care - Elks Share. I'll post the numbers at a later date when we're done counting, but the committee and me are very gratified with the show of support for this event and for Joe Ortiz. Thanks everyone!
Jeff
