SUNCOAST CHAPTER DONATES $10,000 IN HURRICANE RELIEFTO CASA DE TODOS IN JUNCOS, PUERTO RICO

HYATT REGENCY ORLANDO HOSTS THIS YEAR’S SUNCOAST REGIONAL EMMY® AWARDS

The Hyatt Regency Orlando is the host for this year’s Suncoast Regional Emmy® Awards which will be held on Saturday, December 1, 2018. The hotel’s centralized location means you’re only 12 miles from Orlando International Airport and, another key feature — the area’s major theme parks are only a few minutes away. There are seven different dining experiences at the hotel including Urban Tide, Fiorenzo Italian Steakhouse, the 24-hour B-Line Diner and the Market to name a few. Stay tuned to the chapter’s website for more details.

Earlier this year, the Suncoast Chapter made a $10,000 charitable donation to Casa de Todos in Juncos, Puerto Rico. Managed by Executive Director Sister Carmen Carmona, Casa de Todos opened its doors in 1980 and has since offered shelter and protection to abused children and battered women. Comprised of three buildings, Casa de Todos suffered great structural damage during Hurricane Maria which devastated the island during the 2017 hurricane season. The much needed donation will help in the rebuilding efforts which will include a computer lab and a therapy center. Sister Carmen says this donation is an answer to her prayers. The Suncoast Chapter wishes to thank Jose Cancela, President and General Manager, Telemundo Puerto Rico and his staff for helping to identify the organization and assisting in the check presentation.
