Get a taste and tour of Miami Beach - Friday, June 20

As I mentioned in a previous post, we've created an optional Friday evening event for conference attendees who want to get a taste and tour of South Beach on June 20.

George Neary from the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau will take members on a walking tour of South Beach from 7 to 8:30 p.m., with the tour stopping at OLA Restaurant at the Sanctuary Hotel, the location of our Friday dinner. OLA is an acronym for Of Latin America, and you'll see acclaimed chefs Douglas Rodriguez and Jose Luis Flores reflect the diverse flavors of Miami in their unique menu.

The cost for the walking tour and dinner is only $40 per person, and includes tax, gratuity, transportation with a PRSA Miami member and a welcome mojito or mocktail. Special thanks to Rosemary Staltere of OLA and committee member Michelle Revuelta for putting this event together. The menu for the event is below...
