Disaster Relief
 
Rotarians Chris Bowring and Barbara Anley are our Disaster Relief people and they have compiled a summary of contributions the club and external contributions have made over the past years (in U.S. dollars). 
Hurrican Ivan: $1,214,052.64 
Hurricane Paloma: $138,392.56 
Haiti Earthquake: $129,700.47

Each year all three Rotary Clubs contribute $5000 KYD to this relief fund, and presently there is $163,828.73 U.S. in the fund. It has been decided that rather than leave it in the bank, funds will go into a Star Trust. Past Rotarian Paul Drake and Rotarian James Melen have offered to oversea the trust for us.
