News You Can Use

UKRAINIAN APPEAL

In response to the deepening humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, The Rotary Foundation has created an official channel for Rotary members around the world to contribute funds to support the relief efforts underway by Rotary Districts and has designated its Disaster Response Fund as the main avenue for contributions.

Contributions to the Disaster Relief Fund in support of Ukraine can be made online at MyRotary.org. 

All funds need to be received into the Disaster Response Fund by April 30 in order to qualify for use in support of the Ukrainian relief efforts.

The club announced that our district was able to donate $50,000 to the Rotary Foundation disaster relief fund that will be going to Ukraine.

Thank you so much for all you do. In peace and service,

Kathy Kwiat-Hess, District Foundation Chair
