We’re all very aware at this point of the devastation that is taking place in the world. It’s with sadness that we watch and see loved ones separated from each other and individuals making decisions that they themselves will likely never have to live with or feel the pain. And then insert Rotary, an organization without borders. When those that are elected to lead, just talk, Rotary moves in to serve, when governments can’t decide on which crisis to prioritize, Rotary moves in and problem solves, and when entire countries are at war, Rotary moves in and finds the common ground of serving the needs of food, water, medicine, clothing and shelter. It’s with great pride that I’m part of an organization of doers, which is why I’m very excited to announce our district’s decision to join up with other districts around the world and contribute to the Disaster Relief Fund, where all donations received before the end of April will go towards helping the near 5 million people that have been displaced due to this tragedy. There are those that talk and those that do, thank you for being a doer, thank you for being a Rotarian.
