Here is an excerpt from the article. You'll find the link below.
The New Tropic: Hi Mary! Let’s start with the basics: Who are you? What do you do?
Mary Snow: I have the great privilege of being a matchmaker between the kind and generous individuals, families and companies of Coral Gables and the non-profit organizations and projects that make the community a better place to live, work, learn and play. It’s a ton of work, but it’s my dream job.
TNT: How does Miami help you do what you do or influence your work?
MS: I really believe in Miami-Dade as a land of opportunity for all in business and in philanthropy. We have an open door for people at all levels and a willingness to help others. I’m surprised and not surprised when I find philanthropists — or at least generous entrepreneurs — where nobody was expecting them! Sounds corny, but it’s a beautiful thing.
TNT: Wax poetic for a minute and tell us: what brings you most alive about this city?
MS: I feel so lucky to be able to live and work in the City where I was born and raised and am now raising my family. We have the best parks, shopping, dining, cultural centers and activities.
TNT: If you could eat only one meal from a local restaurant for the rest of your life, what would it be?
MS: Christy's Caesar Salad! It’s a classic.
TNT: Outside of the obvious stop above, share your other top destinations for where you’d go on your perfect Miami day.
MS: Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, the dog park near our house with our dog, Sandy Paws, and Coral Reef Yacht Club.
TNT: What’s your favorite...
