A message from District 5960 Governor . . .
Rotarians, some of our district clubs and Rotarians had the idea and initiative to reach out to the District in Kentucky that includes the city of Mayfield. The following is the response:
Thank you so much for reaching out. Our communities are devastated and have significant needs, and our loss of life continues to grow as we work through our current situation. Your support is greatly needed and appreciated. Rotarians are People of Action. In disaster recovery situations, our compassion and commitment to service are a significant part of relief efforts throughout the world. Right here, right now, your help is needed here in our zones. The tornado that touched down in Kentucky has devastated communities in 18 counties in our District 6710. The loss of life in many small towns, such as Dawson Springs and Mayfield, is heartbreaking. There is limited electricity, and many areas lack essential services. So, join us on #RotaryResponds.Here’s how you can help:
Please donate, and encourage your club, club members, and district to donate.
Donations can be sent to:
