Habitat for Humanity Playhouse Build
Small house, big joy. Our Rotary Club of Daniel Island partnered with Habitat for Humanity to build a playhouse for A’Reign on Saturday.
- Seeing A’Reign’s smile when the paint dried was the best moment of the week.
- Purpose is a pillar of a great retirement. Projects like this keep us active, connected, and fulfilled, exactly what we plan for when we talk about “life after work.”
- Grateful for the Rotary teammates who showed up with hammers, brushes, and big hearts.
I left with paint-covered hands and a full heart. Worth it.
Thanks to Habitat for Humanity and the Rotary Club of Daniel Island for making days like this possible.
Books & Beyond Holiday Festival
Five Daniel Island Rotarians volunteered alongside our wonderful partners at Books & Beyond during the North Charleston Holiday Festival in Park Circle. Rotarians invited children attending the festival to pick out two free books to take home and add them to their personal libraries.
Seeing the excitement on children’s faces, and the gratitude from parents, was a powerful reminder of how access to books can spark imagination, confidence, and a lifelong love of reading. This was truly a heart-filling way to inspire young readers and serve our community.
Thank you to our Rotarians and to Books & Beyond for creating such a meaningful (and magical!) experience.
About Us
The Rotary Club of Daniel Island (RCDI) is a 100-member service organization dedicated to giving back through fundraising, volunteerism, fellowship, and learning. Members come from diverse backgrounds—young professionals, new residents, and seasoned leaders—united by a passion for service.
Rotary focuses on seven key causes: peace, disease prevention, clean water, maternal and child health, education, local economies, and the environment. Committees aligned with these areas give members opportunities to serve in ways that match their interests.
RCDI also invests in youth through exchanges, scholarships, and leadership programs, helping students gain skills and global experiences.
The club’s signature fundraiser is the Charleston Duck Race, where 30,000+ rubber ducks compete for $22,000 in prizes. Since its start, the event has raised $2 million for charities serving Lowcountry families.
