March 6, 2024 - Recap of Horizon West Rotary Luncheon

HAPPY DOLLARS
Happy dollars always kick us off on a positive note as members and guests share something they are currently happy about! On March 6th, the funds from today's collection was donated to go towards the Rotary Club Millions Meals Program!

GUEST SPEAKER
ELIZABETH WATKINS

Senior Manager, Government Relations 

Walt Disney World Resort

Elizabeth Watkins, Senior Manager of Government Relations at Walt Disney World Resort helped us understand the details of the housing project planned in Horizon West at Hartzog Road and Avalon Road.

She shared that o address the critical need for affordable housing, Walt Disney World is dedicating nearly 80 acres of land for a new housing community in Central Florida. In collaboration with a renowned developer, The Michaels Organization, we envision a place where cost-burdened renters can focus on their personal growth and prosperity by gaining access to affordable housing. By alleviating the weight of escalating housing costs, we hope to give residents the relief they need to prioritize resources necessary to thrive, like food, medication, car payments, childcare and more.
