37TH ANNUAL
A Message from our President Welcome to our 37th annual South Miami Rotary Art Festival! We’re glad you’ve joined us as you search for those unique fine arts and crafts to take home. Be sure to enjoy the food and drinks in our Food Court/Beer Garden and our wonderful on-stage entertainment which will continue Saturday night until 8:00 PM. We’d like to thank our festival sponsors. By supporting our festival, you help us to fulfill our service mission. In our local community, we’ve supported organizations such as South Miami Drug-Free Coalition and South Miami Parks Department’s after-school tutoring, swimming education, and children’s nutritional programs. We also provide college scholarships to two local students at the New World School of the Arts. Globally, Rotary International and its partners have almost completed the relentless 32year mission of eradicating Polio worldwide. Wild poliovirus cases have decreased by over 99% since 1988, from an estimated 350 000 cases in more than 125 endemic countries then, to 33 reported cases in 2018. India, which was once the most Polio prevalent country in the world, has been Polio free for seven years! The efforts of Rotarians and their partners around the globe will pay off---we will soon have a world free of this crippling disease. Your participation at the Festival and awareness of our community’s needs helps us all to do well by doing good. And don’t forget to come back to beautiful downtown South Miami to shop, eat, get personal services, exercise, bowl, go to the movies, and discover what our community is all about. Lisa Carson, President

ON THE STAGE Two well-known groups joined by two individual artists will be appearing at the February 26 & 27, 2022, 37th annual South Miami Rotary Arts Festival. University of Miami Frost School of Music alumnus Greg Byers Trio returns again this year performing a blend of his original compositions, classic pop/R&B, and contemporary favorites Byers not only performs but is also a recording artist, educator and composer. His debut EP Some Dark, Beautiful Morning brought together his skills as composer, music engineer and businessman. It can be purchased online at gregbyers.bandcamp.com The trio will be the backing band for an open jam session for any musicians interested in sitting in Saturday evening from 6 - 8 pm in the festival beer garden. The drinks booth will remain open so plan to stay for pre-dinner drinks, music, and enjoyment. The ZB Trio featuring pianist Zach Bartholomew, another Frost School of Music alumnus, he was chosen as one of five finalists to compete in the highly acclaimed Jacksonville Jazz Piano Competition and won 3rd place. Zach’s Debut Album, Out of This Town, can be purchased at zbtrio.com. Part of the time his trio will be joined by jazz musician Fernando Ferrarone. The Trio is rounded out by New York drummer Chris Garriga and Peruvian bassist Mario Cuba. Fernando Ferrarone is a native of Miami who was a member of the 2013 and 2014 GRAMMY jazz bands, received a YoungArts Merit Award, amongst many other awards, attended Berklee College of Music on a full scholarship and is currently a member of the Denis Noday Jazz Orchestra and Raices Jazz Orchestra here in Miami. Jeff Zavac has been a part of the South Miami Rotary Art Festival for many years. Zavac has a style unlike any other sax player, with one added twist, he was born blind. The legendary Henry Stone of TK Records fame brought in Gwen McCrae and her daughters (The Creaetts ) to sing background vocals using a very unique arrangement style. The result is magical, thus the title of the CD Instrumental Magic available online at henrystonemusic.com.
Saturday, February 26 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. ZB Trio joined by Fernando Ferrarone. Noon - 2 p.m. 2 p.m. - 6 p.m. Greg Byers Trio 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. Greg Byers Trio joined by Jeff Zavac and Fernando Ferrarone Open Jam Session Sunday, February 27 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Greg Byers Trio joined by Jeff Zavac.

37TH ANNUAL
Membership Note from our Membership Chair Since 1950, the Rotary Club of South Miami has been the lunchtime networking group for civic-minded business people and professionals in the South Miami, Kendall, and Pinecrest areas. Rotary’s unique blend of business networking and civic engagement has made it the largest service organization in the world with over 33,000 clubs worldwide and 1.2 million members who are committed to Service Above Self. We are a group of business and professional leaders who have come together to direct our energies and funds toward a common good. At the same time, we help generate business for one another so we can continue to grow and support our local communities. Rotarians are trustworthy business people as we follow our Four Way Test. While “social networking” has its place in business development, nothing supplants faceto-face relationships through business meetings and service events. If you’d like to find out more about how to join the premier networking club in the area, join us for one of our Tuesday meetings. On the 1st Tuesday of each month we meet for dinner at a local South Miami restaurant, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. On the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month we meet for lunch at the Elks Lodge, 6304 SW 78th Street, South Miami from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. Additionally, we have an evening social event every 3rd Tuesday in South Miami at various locations so sign up for email notifications. For general information about Rotary, stop by our Rotary Drinks Booth in the Food Court during the festival and add your name to our email database or like us on Facebook at Rotary Club of South Miami. Message us there, and you’ll get a callback or a Reply.

The Four-Way Test The Four-Way Test is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships. The test has been translated into more than 100 languages, and Rotarians recite it at club meetings. Of the things we think, say or do: 1. Is it the TRUTH? 2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
Lower Back Pain as We Age: Treatment and Prevention Did you know that nearly 80 percent of people experience low back pain at some point in their lives? Understanding the causes, triggers and treatments for lower back pain can help keep you healthy and moving. According to the National Institutes of Health, the key risk factors include age, genetics, a sedentary lifestyle, job factors (heavy lifting or constant sitting) and being overweight. People who are not physically fit are more likely to experience back pain. However, most back pain stems from aging, the normal wear and tear on the spine. “The first attack of low back pain typically occurs between the ages of 30 and 50, and back pain becomes more common with advancing age,” the public health agency says. Even almost half of healthy, active people 60 and older experience some lower back pain as they age, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Geriatric Society. The lower back includes five vertebrae (called L1-L5) in the lower spine or lumbar region, which supports most of your upper body weight. Discs –– round, rubbery, fluid-filled pads between the spaces in the vertebrae ––
act as shock absorbers throughout the spinal column cushioning the bones as the body moves. As people age, their discs begin to lose fluid and flexibility, leaving the vertebrae less protected, resulting in degenerative disc disease. An injured or weakened disc can lead to rupture or a herniated or “slipped” disc, putting pressure on the nerves and causing severe pain. These and other lower back conditions can often be improved with treatments, including physical therapy, medications, injections or a combination of these. If pain, impaired mobility and other symptoms do not get better over time, surgery may be recommended. However, you can help lessen or prevent lower back pain by correcting unhealthy habits such as poor posture, sitting hunched over a computer for hours and wearing high heels, which can cause poor posture, back problems and aggravate existing back pain. Replace strenuous exercising that can strain muscles with moderate workouts that include abdominal exercises and light weight lifting to strengthen your core and support your back. For more information, call 786-662-8000.
