Email from our District Governor Glenn Bowers:
I know that all of you have seen images of the destruction and read stories about the tragic loss of life in Kerr County, Texas. Kerr County and Kerrville are in Rotary District 5850. I have been in constant contact with their District Governor, Craig Hardy. This event has impacted countless lives. It has also impacted our Rotary family. Kerrville is home to two Rotary clubs. Even with some members suffering loss, they are working hard to assess needs and see where Rotary can have an impact. In addition to the loss of life, over 800 homes have been destroyed or damaged.
Tragedy has hit our larger Rotary family. This morning I heard that the president-elect of the Rotary Club of East Montgomery County in District 5910 (east Texas) was vacationing along the river. His body was recovered, his daughter rescued, but his wife and sons are still missing.
People have immediate needs to be met. To help meet those needs, District 5840 has activated its 501(c)(3) foundation to begin collecting tax-deductible donations to assist with disaster relief and long-term recovery.
For ways to donate contact Dave Hanson.
