District Financial Support to Disasters

 
Funds from the District 9820 Emergency Relief Fund have been used to financially support recent disasters interstate and overseas. At a recent District Leadership meeting the following funding was approved –
 
*  West Australia Bush Fire Appeal initiated through the Rotary Club of Pinjarra Bush Fire Appeal - $5,000.

*  Cyclone Winston Disaster in Fiji - $5,000 to Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS) which is co-ordinating a multi District (Australia) appeal to fund  future building & support projects within Fiji.

*  Cyclone Winston Disaster in Fiji – Disaster Aid Australia (International) - $2,500 towards supporting recovery initiatives in the Fiji Islands.

These funds have originated from donations to the District 9820 Emergency Relief Fund. If clubs wish to, they may individually support these Rotary emergency response programs or they may like to donate funds directly to the District 9820 Emergency Relief Fund. Your club funds would then be distributed to the individual appeal. A number of clubs have already provided financial assistance to these disasters and programs and your assistance is much appreciated.
