Helping Our Neighbors Restore the Only Hospital On The Grand Bahama Island
In September 2019, Hurricane Dorian devastated Grand Bahama Island. The only hospital on the Island, Rand Memorial Hospital, was flooded. Repairs are ongoing but most of the basic and vital equipment must be replaced. The Rotary Clubs on the Island created project GBI Rx to help fund these expenses. The Rotary Club of Miami stepped up to help our neighbors will match any & all contributions. It seems as though we will exceed a total match of over $100,000.

Overtown Girl Scout Troop 1877 send their thanks for the support they received from our Club. Firstly, the Troop leaders were at our Alberto Carvalho presentation and they found his comments to be truly enlightening and impactful. The Girl Scouts were also grateful for the support they received from our Membership who bought $541 of Girl Scout Cookies. During their presence at our lunch meeting, Linda Singer noticed that the Troop leaders did not have a adequate way to carry and move their supplies. So Linda volunteered to purchase two All Terrain Wagons for the Troop on the Club's behalf. We are so proud of the progress that Troop 1877 has had and we plan to continue to provide them assistance.
