St. John Rotary was given a plethora of information from the St. John Community Foundation in the person of Michele who is filling in while Celia is on vacation.
We know that many groups and organizations work for St. John, particularly in the event of hurricanes and other disasters.
The St. John Community Foundation is attempting to coordinate all these agencies and organizations, according to the abilities of its members. Call the Foundation at 340-690-9410 for further information and to register your organization. Much training is available, so let us all get the most for St. John because when the ports are closed, we are on our own!
