Katrina Disaster Relief
Sept 3 update
|
Katrina relief
What are WE going to do?
Want to help RIGHT NOW? Give to the American Red Cross (and/or donate blood - always appropriate)
If you work for a large corporation, ask if there is a matching contribution program in place (many are already established).
Want to send money (right now) to specifically Rotary-related and managed general relief programs?
Please
click here
and see the related links.
(There will likely be more general funds established within our Rotary family, but these are up and functioning now)
Do you have any personal Rotary connections in the affected area?
Many clubs have said that they would like to create a one-to-one/club-to-club relationship with their donation(s) - to develop new friendships out of this disaster. Indeed, some Rotarians have said they'd like to personally visit with Clubs & Rotarians in the region, to take part in "hands-on" efforts.
At the District level, we can coordinate these longer-term and personal wishes.
Please send info on your connections, plans, and wishes to DG Charlie at charliekelly@rotary5130.org
