Dear fellow Rotarians and friends,
Here is the latest update from D5000 Governor Mark (Merriam):
“Good morning, friends. The outpouring of support from Rotarians around the world is phenomenal. Rotary is on Maui helping at shelters, finding housing, moving supplies, and more. We approved $50K for gas cards ($100x500). It has been a full week since the disaster and the power of Rotary is real. I appreciate your sincere love, care, and concern.”
Our Rotary International President Gordon Mclnally calls upon Rotary to be known as an organization that takes care of its members. Together, let us support our Rotarians in Maui to rebuild their communities in the months and years to come. Contributions can be made directly to D5000 Foundation Maui Fires Relief Fund via out District website at
