Dear SKAL Miami members,
What a great event we had last week at Smith & Wollensky, another Skal Miami member by the way! The steaks were so tender, and the guests were so happy to connect with each other in person again. Members traveled as far away as New Jersey, Naples and Jupiter! We started our traditional raffle and silent auction again, which turned out to be fun and successful! And the best part: nine new members signed up, and hopefully a few more will consider to become a part of our energetic club!
As a friendly reminder: if you sign up or renew your membership prior to November 2021, we will extend to you our best-ever membership rate! Make use of it since the rates have to increase a bit in 2022 to keep up with the new insurance costs, taxes, etc. Email us and we will send you the sign up form: [email protected]. And remember, Skal International is the only global hospitality and travel association that gives you access to their worldwide database!
See at the end of this email our social media links. ‘Like’ and follow us to check out all of the event photos!
What’s next: OCT – DEC 2021
We have decided to put an event on the calendar every two weeks. In case you have to miss one, join us for one of the informal Happy Hours. Pay your own drink, come and go as your time allows or be part of our monthly mixers and dinners. Thank you for your support.
Zoom Business Presentation with Skal Florida: Thursday, September 30, 5:00 – 6:00 p.m.– We are planning a Zoom presentation for our Skal members – first with the Florida chapters, later in the year with some East Coast USA clubs.

Happy Hour: Friday, October 1, 6:30 p.m. – Oktoberfest at our Skal members Harald & James Neuweg’s Restaurant Fritz & Franz Bierhaus, 60 Merrick Way, Coral Gables – Pay your own drinks and food.

And if you know Aimee – it will be a fun party with lots of laughter! The appetizer buffet is outstanding with all the salads and vegetarian dishes you can dream of! Then the Gauchos! They will come by as often as you have an appetite for more meat – yes, I’ll skip my vegan dinner for that dinner event! Price for members: $65. For non-members: $78. We will send you a payment link –confirmation only with pre-payment.
Happy Hour: Wednesday, December 1, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. – THE PENTHOUSE!

And finally Christmas! – Stay tuned! We’ll update you in October with this great event!
Stay well and thank you for your support. We appreciate you!
