One of the most rewarding activities for the Rotary Club of Doral is their monthly visit to The Ronald McDonald House of Charities/Miami, during which members share the day with cancer patients and their families. Guided by our newest member, Chef Elizabeth Carrion, Rotarians prepare healthy dishes with very fresh ingredients for several families.
During their Dec. 10 visit, they hosted a wonderful event that included a very special appearance by Santa Claus. Special thanks the community of Miami for their continuous support, especially the Belen Jesuit School, Ronald Reagan Doral Interact Club, and many other generous donors. This project was made possible by the amazing efforts of Rotarian Vicente Carrion and with support of all Doral Rotary Club members.
Rotary Governor Visit

More than 70 students joined the Interact Club to hear about the wide range of opportunities the Rotary provides. They were also encouraged to submit applications for upcoming year.
