Members of the Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotary club spent Saturday, April 26, 2014 performing maintenance, repair and clean-up work for Ronald McDonald House of San Diego. The club members selected this project as their contribution to Rotarians At Work Day. The Ronald McDonald House provides a welcoming “home away from home” for families caring for critically ill or injured children at local hospitals. Featuring 47 guest suites, three daily meals, an onsite school for siblings of hospitalized children, day resting rooms for visitors, a serenity garden, and a wide range of other appropriate services, the facility is meant to ease the medical experience for children being treated for serious, often life-threatening conditions.
 
 
By taking care of the basic necessities of life – a place to stay,meals, computer access, and more – Ronald McDonald House makes it possible for families to focus their attention on the critically ill or injured child who needs them so urgently,” says club president Jim Stewart in explaining the choice for Rotarians at Work Day. He adds; “Even though the organization isn’t in our zip code, the importance it plays to all San Diegans and our commitment to service above self makes helping them a priority for our Rotary family.”
 
Rotarians At Work started in San Diego and is quickly gaining traction around the world with the objective of having all 34,000 Rotary clubs on the map working on community improvement projects simultaneously.
 
Rotarians At Work program was conceived by a former District Governor, the late Bob Watson, and is guided by District 5340 2006 Rotarian Of The Year Jim Roth. Roth is a member and former president of the RB Sunrise Rotary

Non-Rotarians are also invited to donate time or resources, as well as to visit the house for a tour. More information is available online at www.rmhcsd.org
