Letter from the President
Dear Royal Dames and Supporters,
It is truly a privilege to be associated with such a talented group of Royal Dames and supporters who work so diligently and tirelessly to provide research dollars for cancer research at Rumbaugh Goodwin Institute at Nova Southeastern University. I am both honored and humbled to be your president especially during this exciting time! Through the Royal Dames’ efforts to provide funds, Rumbaugh Goodwin Institute was approved for a federal patent, on January 25, 2011, for a drug that is expected to work on breast, prostate, lung and colorectal cancers. The Royal Dames have not swayed from their goal to provide funds for cancer research. I salute you for your persevering commitment. This dream could not have become a reality without your support.
We will continue the efforts to support RGI through our upcoming events. There will be a dedication and reception for the Royal Dames/brick program on July 15, 2011 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm in front of the River House in the Historic District. The Wasi Foundation is generously underwriting the reception. The Annual meeting for all active members will be held in September, 2011. At this meeting, we will also update you on the new developments of RGI and NSU. This will be followed by the Fall Membership Luncheon chaired by Shari Hall.
Our 42nd Annual Tiara Ball will be held at Pier 66 on Saturday, November 19, 2011. The chairs for the ball are Dr. Amy Swan, Mary Kazares and Carole Nugent Asser. At this writing, the theme is a surprise; however, you can be sure that with this dynamic group of ladies, it will be a spectacular evening. The Tiara Ball is our main fundraiser of the year and your generous support is imperative to the goal of providing the needed funds to continue the research that RGI and NSU have done. We need the participation of everyone!
Again, thank you for your perseverance and support. I look forward to working and getting to know each one of you. Have a safe and pleasant summer.
