We, as a District, are going to use the remaining District Designated Funds of $15,000 as a match for donations to The Rotary Foundation Disaster Fund from Rotarians in our District! WE NEED TO DO THIS BY APRIL 15th.
Here is what you do:
Go to https://my.rotary.org/en/disaster-response-fund. You will need to use your login to My Rotary and make a donation so that we will be able to track what amount our District has given. You will also receive credit towards your Paul Harris Fellow and Every Rotarian Every Year if you are logged in.
OR you can mail a check made out to The Rotary Foundation and put Ukraine in the memo line. Mail the check to Bill Harvey at 17503 V Street, Omaha, NE 68135. You will still receive credit towards PHF and EREY.
AND please share the link with your networks, family, friends, neighbors, social media platforms....you do not need to be a Rotarian to give to this fund. It is the safest and most effective use of their donation dollars! 100% of the funds given for this will go directly to relief efforts.
It is time to do what we do. Let's bring the magic of Rotary and Serve to Change Lives!
