Welcome to our blog!

We at the Rotary Club of Miami Metrozoo have decided that it's high time we started a blog. We are rather unconventional in that we are the only Rotary club affiliated with a zoo. The Rotary Club of Miami Metrozoo was established on October 23, 2009. Our first president was Bill Tuttle, Zoo Miami's (formerly Metrozoo) exhibits and graphics coordinator.Currently, Jack Courtright of Northwestern Mutual holds this distinction.

The Club meets every Wednesday, starting at 11:45am ("schmooze time"). Our program begins at 12:15pm. Please visit our website for more information.

Our club's community project is the Safe Space Foundation. In January, we held fundraiser at the Miami Elks' Lodge-948 for the Foundation, titled "Dining, Dancing, and Making a Difference". Mayor Bateman of the City of Homestead was our honorary event chair. President-Elect Carol Nobles, also Vice-President of The Safe Space Foundation, worked diligently to make this fundraiser a success.

Our club motto is: "RC MMZ IS NOT MONKEYING AROUND AND THERE IS NO LION ABOUT IT!"
