They are the Navy League. the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club of Miami. I believe that all of these efforts could be unified and brought into foous through a single organization that would develop and maimtaiA a • - nifioant relationship between USS MIAMI and the City tf Miami and is citizens.
