We have watched as our neighbors and friends in Southern California face one of the worst disasters our state has ever seen with the recent wildfires. In response to those impacted, our District reached out to local Rotary Districts 5300 and 5280 to see how best we could help and support the many Rotarians who have lost their livelihoods as well as their homes and possessions.
Working together with our District's Disaster Foundation, chaired by PDG Desiree Wilson, we are recommending that our Clubs and members directly support our fellow Districts and their wildfire relief efforts.
Here are the links to the District 5280 and 5300 wildfire disaster relief websites where you can donate:
Our fellow Rotarians have lost everything so our support means even more as the recovery from these wildfires will be long-lasting and take months and years to find a new normal after all they have been through.
I know they would do the same if our members and families were facing a similar devastating event.
In advance, my thanks for showing our true District 5180 Rotary spirit to help our fellow Rotarians and families as they recover and rebuild.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me either by email (stevet5180@gmail.com) or by phone at (916) 599-2402.
Sincerely,
Steve Turner
District Governor 5180
