Disaster Response in our communities is an arena of growing concern. We have recently experienced tornados, floods, fires and all matters that effect large numbers of people at a single time. We are invited to join with other service organizations to respond as a team to these events. We will discuss this opportunity to serve at the February Roundtable. My interest in sharing this with you now is to ask for a volunteer to become the 'Captain' for the Rotary Response Team. That person would work with other service groups and develop a team of Rotarians that work with the others in response to needs during major events. This may be a new area of service for us but it is no less important that we can be available when our communities need us in a difficult time. Please consider helping in this manner. I am available to answer your questions and we will discuss this further at Roundtable. Thank you for all you do in Rotary. DG John |
