On May 29, 2022, the last Sunday of the month. Our
Men’s Club held our meeting with breakfast at Gigi’s. After
the reading of the minutes, the treasury report, old and new
business had been discussed. Doug McOwen, our president,
spoke about our upcoming July 4 holiday barbecue
which will be held on July 3. Our club is pleased to have
Gerald Gubitsky as a new member. On July 24, we will
have a gold and silver activity sponsored by Todd
Rosenblatt selling gold, sterling silver, coins, diamonds,
watches and more. It will be a fund raiser for our club as we
obtain a certain percent of the sales profits. Merv told us
that our guest speaker for the month of August will be Rick
Stark. Steve Reinstein told us we have a date scheduled to
have a Bingo event on Thursday August 11 at 5 P. M.
After our meeting ended, our guest speaker was Mayor
Frank Ortis.
Among the topics he provided for discussion were how
our property taxes have been increasing each year for several
years, how our police and fire fighters are using certain
buildings where people are not living to practice firing
shots to be ready in the event an almost daily crazy shooter
wants to kill innocent people so that our public will be
protected, the addition of so many features adding
progress to our City Center, getting back to normal operations
after we had been hacked and much more that his
office is doing to benefit our people in the City of Pembroke
Pines. Among some of our problems are the pandemic, the
war in Ukraine, very high inflation and the very disturbing
frequent shootings by people with severe mental problems.
We are delighted for the Mayor’s providing us with protection
His vital and important presentation keeps us
informed and doing all they can to protect the population of
our city. Thank you, Mayor, for all that you are doing for our
people.
Be Well and Stay Safe,
Bernie Stauber
