The Freshmen Five
The five newest elected Representatives to the Florida House are committed to helping the constituents in their Districts. They have joined forces and, in their first joint event on August 10, Representatives Ana Maria Rodriguez (former vice mayor for City of Doral); Anthony Rodriguez; Daniel Perez; Vance Aloupis; and Juan Fernandez-Barquin hosted a Farm Share free food distribution event at Tamiami Park for more than 500 people.
Joining in this effort were McDonalds, Publix, Baptist Health South Florida, The Fair & Expo, and Miami Dade County. Also on hand to promote their services and educational opportunities were FIU, Miami-Dade College, Florida National University, Cintas, GFWC Coral Gables Woman’s Club (with their free Children’s Dental Clinic), Miami-Dade Transit Golden Passes, Miami-Dade Voter’s Registration, United States Attorney’s Office, and Miami’s Community Newspapers (CNews).
This event provide the Coral Gables Woman’s Club, whose member Marti Bueso volunteered her time to help organize the event, a great way to share information on the club’s free children’s dental clinic. The Coral Gables Children’s Dental Clinic provides free dental care for children who fall between the cracks in our healthcare system.
Last year alone they treat 600 patients and provided more than $240,000 in free services. CGWC Public Issues Chair Donna Myrill was delighted by the response and the club actually ran out of their stacks of brochures. Among the many helping out that day manning the club’s table were CGWC board members Iris Segui and her two sons, Erin Anding, and husband Volker; with Gloria Burns; and prospective CGWC new member Judy Ruiz
Speaking of the Woman’s Club, many of whose members reside in Doral, this is a busy group. On Tuesday, Sept. 10, 7-9 p.m., the club is coordinating its monthly Clutch Burger Gringo Bingo and will direct the proceeds to the Alzheimer’s Association Walk.
