Past District Governor and Honorary Rotary Club of Coquitlam member Bernie Pregler was approached in early June by the Dmitry from the Rotary Club of Kyiv about collaborating on a new Humanitarian Aid Program for Ukraine.  Although a significant amount of humanitarian aid was sitting in Ukrainian warehouses inside the Ukraine-Poland border, distribution within Ukraine was difficult due to larger truck being the target of missile strikes.  Dmitry expressed the need to purchase four midsize vans to help distribute the food, medical supplies and clothing to the more distant regions of Ukraine, as vans were scarce within Ukraine.

Firetruck for Ukraine
 
A partnership between District 5050 and District 1020 (Scotland) has resulted in both districts applying for and both receiving USD $25,000 Disaster Response Grants from The Rotary Foundation. The funds were combined to purchase a USD $50,000 Ladder Firetruck.
 
The firetruck was purchased in Latvia and was delivered to the Ukrainian border. Representatives from District 2232 (Ukraine/Belarus) and the Ukrainian fire department met it and organized the passage of all border and custom formalities. The vehicle was driven to the City of Chernihiv which has suffered badly from the Russian invaders.

We Shredded it!
 
A hardworking and energetic 18 member team of Rotarians and friends reduced local household clutter and ensured that past financial histories of hundreds of Coquitlam residents were obliterated!
 
AS the photos below show, our team offered a streamlined process that reduced wait time and ensured protection of documents.  A huge thanks is extended to Jim and the organizing committee who thought of every minute detail aand executed and awesome event.  And to Paul and Insuk of Canadian Tire for their sponsorship and loan of their parking lot!  As people were driving up with their boxes of documents, som many of them expressed their gratitude to Rotary.  "This is my second year and I"m so happy my donation is going to a great cause: the entire program is so well organized.  I would like to say thank you to all the volunteers that make this wonderful event happen each year.  Well done!"
