We’ve decided to make a major membership push this year by significantly increasing membership benefits and value. This year’s membership benefits will include free admission to several events as well as some members-only events. Members will get a special directory of alumni in the Miami/Ft Lauderdale area organized by zip code, name, and employer. Members will also get a discounted admission fee for guests/family members to Club events.
