Water Filter Fundraiser - John Heritage reminded members on the fundraiser for this year's goal of raising $5,000 for water filters in Honduras. The club is asking for direct, tax deductible donations directly to the club, rather than through selling salad dressing, water bottles, etc. Planning for this fundraising program was brought forward by John Heritage, Brook Bissonet and Chris Mountford.
As of July 2016, there have been 784 water filters donated to the El Ayudante Rotary club in Honduras. HHOP will no longer be supporting water filter filters in Honduras so the club is looking to raise more money locally to continue our support. El Ayudante is now the sole importer of of the Hydraid Filter used to provide clean water to Honduran villages in need of clean drinking water.
