MAYOR MYRON ROSNER OF NORTH MIAMI BEACH AMONG THOSE HONORED
AT THE FIRST ANNUAL LEGACY GALA AT THE ANCIENT SPANISH MONASTERY
North Miami Beach, FL – March 8, 2011 The Historically Designated Ancient Spanish Monastery, widely regarded
as the oldest building in the Western Hemisphere, was built in 1133 AD in Sacramenia, Spain. Cistercian monks
occupied The Monastery for nearly 700 years. Dismantled and shipped to the United States by William Randolph
Hearst in 1925, the Cloisters of The Monastery were reassembled in North Miami Beach, Florida in 1952. In 1953
TIME magazine called The Monastery "history's biggest jigsaw puzzle" and chronicled the journey and the ancient
artifacts of the collection.
In keeping with the unique legacy of The Ancient Spanish Monastery, The Cloisters Foundation of The Ancient Spanish
Monastery is proud to honor individuals whose distinguished achievements and contributions have provided a legacy
for community involvement and exceptional leadership. At 7:00 PM on Saturday, April 9, 2011 on the picturesque
grounds of The Ancient Spanish Monastery the First Annual Legacy Gala, rightly deemed “Preserving the Legacy,” will
honor selected community leaders whose legacy in Miami-Dade County has been longstanding.
The distinguished honorees of the First Annual Legacy Gala are: The Honorable Myron Rosner, Mayor of North Miami
Beach, Dr. Dorothy Jenkins-Fields, Founder of the Black Archives History and Research Foundation, Mr. Michael
Snyder Esq. President of North Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce, and Mr. Tony Lesesne, Co-founder of Lesesne
Media Group and InFocus Magazine.
The Board of Directors and Trustees of The Cloisters Foundation of the The Ancient Spanish Monastery cordiallyinvite the South Florida community to join them and Mistress of Ceremonies Neki Mohan of WPLG Local 10 in an
elegant evening of cocktails, dinner, and dancing under the stars in honor of these exceptional community leaders.
In addition to a silent auction, cocktails, dinner, and dancing, invited guests can look forward to the musical stylings of
Jazz performer Jon Saxx, a special designer fashion show presented by The Teen Board, and a festive steel band
ensemble. Meet with living legacies at the historically designated Ancient Spanish Monastery located at 16711 West
Dixie Highway, North Miami Beach, Florida 33160 on Saturday, April 9, 2011 at 7:00 pm. Attire, Black tie.
