One of our fellow Rotarians in the Thousand Oaks area (which, as you know, suffered from a mass shooting recently) has requested we donate blood. Here is an account of her story. "I woke up this morning to the horrific news of the mass shooting at the Borderline Bar in Thousand Oaks. As far as I know, there were no Rotarians or Rotaractors killed or injured. One of our Rotarian's daughter was at the bar but uninjured. We have two Rotaract Clubs in that area. The site is less than a block from where our Thursday club meets and the roads are blocked so they can't meet today. Needless to say, the Thousand Oaks area as well as District 5240 are hurting today. Several of you have reached out to ask what you and your Districts can do and I really appreciate your support and concern. If you would, please ask that Rotarians donate blood today at their local blood banks in the memory of those who lost their lives and honor those patrons and first responders who had witness that terrible scene. One of the deputies who was first to arrive was gunned down and died. Rotarians have a need to help, that's who we are. So if you could, forward my message on to your membership." |
