As we learn more about the rebuilding needs of our Rotary partner Districts and Clubs in the Caribbean, our Disaster Relief team has chosen two projects where our money can be put to immediate/short term good use.
District 7030 has formed a Rotary Disaster Network of Assistance – Rotary Action Group (DNA-RAG) for the islands of Barbuda and Dominica. The project we will support will help put roofs back on houses. We have chosen this project because:
Please make your donations to the Rotary District 6900 Charitable Fund, a 501c3. Check should be marked for Hurricane Relief – District 7030, or Hurricane Relief Caribbean. Send your donations to District Treasurer James Marosek.

The District will forward your donations ot the DNA-RAG and account for the money donated.
Aqua Box is a short-term/low-cost/high-impact project that provides families the filters need to create their own safe drinking water. Aqua Box appears to have been overwhelmed by all the disasters requiring their filters, but are restocking as fast as possible. A box of filters for a family costs about $160 US. Acqua Box would be a perfect project for small clubs or even Interact or Rotaract Clubs. See www.aquabox.org for more information. Again send your checks to District Treasurer James Marosek at the address above and mark them Aqua Box Hurricane Relief.
Those clubs who wish to may still contribute directly to any of the Rotary International Donor Advised Funds for Disaster Relief in the US, Caribbean, Mexico, and around the world. Donor Advised Funds are listed on Rotary International’s website at www.rotary.org.
