SENT TO ALL DISTRICT 9455 CLUB PRESIDENTS AND SECRETARIES
I’m delighted to advise that a partnership has been formed between Rotary Australia, Channel 9 and the National Farmers’ Federation to help our drought-stricken farmers.  A fundraising appeal was launched on Channel 9’s Today show on Thursday, 2nd August.
In Australia, farmers are the lifeblood of our country and they are in crisis.  Record-breaking heat and lack of rain mean farmers are struggling to feed sheep and cattle and keep crops alive.  Families on the land are suffering and they need our help.  Channel 9 and Rotary Australia have partnered with the National Farmers’ Federation, launching an appeal to big business and everyday Australians, so we can provide some emergency relief.  100% of donations goes to the farmers and is tax deductible via Rotary and RAWCS.  Every dollar counts. 
 
The link for the donation page for the project is:
 
The RAWCS website home page has the link also:
 
Any donations from clubs would be appreciated. Also, please circulate this to all your members or raise at your meetings as members may wish to make a personal donation.
 
Kind regards
