Dear Friends,

As you are aware, there is devastation in parts of the United States from the effects of Hurricane Helene.  We have Rotary friends and neighbors to the south who are working to support each other and others in their communities who are victims of the hurricane.  Our Rotary leaders in Zones 33 and 34 have established a fund for those who would like to assist recovery efforts by donating.  Contributions can be made via online payment, mailed check or wire transfer.  Information to donate is at https://www.rizones33-34.org/disaster-relief/.  Also below is a QR code that connects to the donation link.  The organization is a 501(c)(3), so U.S. taxpayers can make their donation tax-deductible. 

Zones 33 and 34 are collecting the funds and will ask district leaders, in cooperation with club leaders, in the most affected areas to submit requests for funding to a group of seasoned leaders (many with significant disaster relief experience).  This group will make recommendations to approve grants that will support the efforts of volunteers by providing equipment, tools, storage, mobile storage, etc.  They hope that our donations can amplify the efforts of volunteers, which seems like a solid Rotary approach.  In addition, they will leverage district grants and RI disaster response grants (if/when they become available) to further maximize our impact.

Thank you for your consideration in supporting our friends and the residents affected by Helene.
