Guests: All EA Rio alumni, family, and friends are invited. (Due to Florida health restrictions, children under 3 are not allowed to enter facility.) Formed from a coral rock quarry in 1923, the Venetian Pool is included in the National Register of Historic Places. This 820,000 gallon pool is fed with cool spring water daily, and features two waterfalls, coral caves, and grottos. The buildings are Venetian-style architecture, designed by Denman Fink, uncle of the founding father of Coral Gables, George Merrick. Together with architect Phineas Paist, they transformed an unsightly rock pit into the world's most beautiful swimming hole, complete with expansive loggias, porticos, a palm-fringed island, beach, and cobble-stone bridge. Every effort was made to make this event affordable and child friendly. Please RSVP early and send your checks postmarked before Oct. 10 so we can have an accurate head count for the caterers. Also please spread the news regarding this luncheon since our database of EA Rio alumni in South Florida is still somewhat limited. We are expecting a good group. Até domingo, dia 24 de outubro! |
