Rotary District 5280 Governor Alberto Hernandez posted the following on their web site: “As you’re likely aware, our region is currently facing devastating wildfires and severe winds. The Pacific Palisades community has been especially hard-hit, with reports of over 10,000 homes, businesses, and more lost. The fires continue to advance toward the borders of Malibu and Santa Monica with no signs of abating. To the northeast, the Eaton Canyon Fire that began in Altadena is spreading east toward Monrovia and west toward Glendale. Meanwhile, the northwest side of our District is battling the Hurst Fire in Sylmar. These events have already brought immense loss, and we must act swiftly and decisively”District 5280 has established a Disaster Relief Fund to help raise funds for those in need. Their plan includes raising funds, coordinating resources, and managing volunteers. Please help! You can donate by credit card HERE.
A Rotary club should start an Interact Club because it can be a rewarding experience for the club and its community: Mentoring: Rotarians can mentor young people who want to help the community, and these young people can become future Rotarians.
New energy: Interact clubs can bring new ideas and support to Rotary projects.
Community awareness: Interact clubs can spread awareness of Rotary in the community.
