Last week, the Mineola-Garden City Rotary held a joint social/fellowship event with the Williston Park Rotary Club. A rousing success, members and guests gathered at the Morgan Parc apartment’s magnificent rooftop lounge located on 2nd Street in Mineola—just over the Franklin Avenue/Mineola Boulevard LIRR bridge.
The Mineola-Garden City Club thanks the Williston Park Rotary for laying out a huge and enticing spread of gourmet sandwiches, wraps and salads, not to mention the gourmet cookie platters for dessert, along with a full bar providing a generous selection of beverages including wines and beers.
It has been the tradition of the club to hold fellowship evening events at various local venues during the Rotary year. Always open to the public, our fellowship socials provide the opportunity to network and to include members’ spouses and guests along with prospective members who wish to learn more about Rotary’s services and activities.
Throughout the years, Rotary has scheduled, and continues to schedule notable lunch meeting speakers representing various companies, charitable organizations, schools, political organizations and many other areas of general interest. In addition to our roster of meeting speakers, our special events include our annual Holiday Luncheon Party, and Community Service award event along with various other award presentations.
Our Club looks forward to continuing our lunch meetings on second and fourth Tuesdays at Calogero’s until such time as the Garden City Hotel, our traditional meeting venue, resumes lunch service.
Should you wish to reserve for a lunch meeting, which is open to the public, for a fee of $30, email club president Diane Marmann at diane.marmann@gmail.com.
