This week the Tuesday Morning Breakfast Club is honored to have David Lawrence, former publisher of the Miami Herald and current Chairman of the Children’’s Trust, as our guest.
Mr. Lawrence retired in 1999 as Publisher of the Miami Herald to work in the area of early childhood development and readiness. He is President of The Early Childhood Initiative Foundation and ““University Scholar for Early Childhood Development and Readiness”” at the University of Florida. Governor Charlie Christ named him to the Children’’s Cabinet in 2007. In 2002 he led the campaign for the Children’’s Trust, a dedicated source of early intervention and prevention funding for children in Miami-Dade; he is now the Chairman of the Trust.

Before coming to Miami in 1989, Mr. Lawrence was Publisher and Executive Editor of the Detroit Free Press. Prior to joining the Free Press, he was editor of the Charlotte Observer. He joined Night Newspapers (now Knight-Ridder) in 1971. During his tenure as Publisher of the Miami Herald, the paper won five Pulitzer Prizes.

Join us for a discussion of the Children’’s Trust with David Lawrence.
Everyone is welcome to attend.

"Since 1996, the Tuesday Morning Breakfast Club has been gathering every Tuesday at 8:30AM to 10:00AM at a local Miami Beach restaurant for informal, non-partisan discussions of issues - political, governmental, etc. It is not affiliated with any other organization. We are currently meeting at David's Cafe II, 1654 Meridian Ave., Miami Beach, between Lincoln Road Mall and Macy's (formerly Burdine's). There is plenty of parking at that hour in the adjacent municipal parking lot. One orders from the menu or simply has coffee. Guest speakers range across the political, governmental, business, and social issues spectrum. Sessions are open to everyone. Simply show up."
