National Flood Relief Appeal
District 9780 proposal for support:-
We have been waiting for the outcome of a special District Board meeting which discussed how best we could support communities affected by the recent QLD & NSW Floods.
The District Board has decided to make a $10,000 donation to the RAWCS appeal. They discussed sending the funds to one of the Districts directly impacted thinking it might get to those who need it quickly or more quickly than through RAWCS. We now know that RAWCS was very quick in distributing the funds to the victims of the Dandenong storms and will be similarly speedy with this one.
As such District is donating to RAWCS, which also means we are supporting more than just one District as many are impacted.
As a Club we will look at doing the same ie. make the donation to the RAWCS appeal. The Board will keep you updated.

President Michael
Australian charity, Rotary Australia World Community Service, announced the creation of a national Flood Relief Appeal for people impacted by the current floods in Queensland and Northern NSW.
Australians impacted by the recent floods will be the beneficiaries of money raised by Flood Appeal and will be able to liaise with their local Rotary Club to advise of their needs.
The fundraising campaign was launched today to support the communities in need after yet another disaster impacting Australians.
“The money raised from the Appeal will go directly and quickly to support those impacted, providing essential items and financial support where Disaster relief and Insurance claims won’t stretch,” said Rotary Australia World Community Service Ltd CEO Andrew Woodward.
“The number of disasters Australians have endured in the last few years in addition to the pandemic have been significant and left a lot of people in very difficult financial positions,” Mr Woodward said.
Rotary Australia World Community Service has previously raised money for Bushfire and Drought affected areas and sees this disaster as just another where the network of Rotarians can step in to assist.
Mr Woodward said that he expects the money to help people with the things that insurance or disaster relief funds cannot replace. Whether it be helping farmers build new fences or providing food and clothing to those that have lost everything, the money raised will be crucial in helping families get back on their feet as soon as possible.
Rotary Australia World Community Service is a not-for-profit charity that aims to be the leading Australian charitable organization for people’s wellbeing, supporting Rotarians and Rotary Clubs undertaking humanitarian projects in Australia and overseas.
Tax Deductible Donations to the appeal can be made on the Rotary Australia World Community Service website at https://rawcs.org.au
