Dear Santa... Can You Please...? 
Happy Holidays from the Arza Family!

By Ralph Arza 
Doral Community Councilman

Dear Santa,

I wanted to let you know that I have been good and have done whatever has been asked of me and now I humbly come to you with my wish list for the community that I was elected to represent. I know that you can deliver these precious presents to these special people:

1. Can you please place in West Dade Federation President Morgan Levy's stocking, and under every resident's Christmas tree, that little piece of paper entitled "City Charter of Doral"?

2. Can please give our children, our parents, and all of the residents of Doral the much needed Doral Meadows Park and Doral Park, places where our children can play soccer, youth football, and little league baseball and we can all enjoy the beauty of our Doral Community?

3. Can you please place under West Dade Federation Vice President Jesse Jones's tree, and under that of every resident who has cause to travel NW 58th Street between NW 97th Avenue and NW 107th Avenue, an elevated, passable street that does not flood?

4. Can you please give our residents a four-lane NW 107th Avenue so that our families can travel to and from their homes safely?

5. Can you please continue to give our leaders, whether they are members of the West Dade Federation of Homeowners Associations or the Doral Community Council, a desire to keep working together, always making sure that they have the community's best interest at heart?

6. Can you please give our Community Council Members, Jerry Howie, Carolyn Casserta, Jose Cancio, Sr., Odel Torres, and the newly-elected Mary Swofford, and their families a special gift of thanks for their long hours of sacrifice to the Doral Community?

7. Can you please give our Doral community its much-needed Doral High School?

8. Can you please give our Doral community the continued gift of a truly special community that works together in a spirit of harmony and cooperation?

And Santa, I want to thank you in particular for one gift in particular: allowing my family and I the opportunity to live in a very special place called Doral.
