Wednesday, March 31st, marked the official kick-off date for the Harvard Global Month of Service initiative in South Florida. Breakthrough Miami, hosting the kick-off in Ransom Everglades School historic pagoda, is among two dozen organizations in South Florida identified as a service project for local Harvard Alumni in April.
The kick-off's Master of Ceremony, Marilyn J. Holifield of Holland & Knight, welcomed over 50 Harvard Alumni to the event and expressed the need for them to play an active role in the service initiative. Several other alumni and organization leaders accompanied Marilyn at the podium to present the details of their service project. Among them, Alicia R. Bower, Executive Director of Breakthrough Miami, presented a list of program activities available as service projects.
An animated key note address was delivered by the Harvard Alumni Association President, Teresita Alvarez-Bjelland. With a kindred spirit, Teresita reflected on her tenure as the association's president and thanked the alums for their dedication to public service.
