Your urgent support would be sincerely appreciated to help rebuild our National Stock of ERK’s needed to help our Pacific neighbours in NZ District’s 9910 & 9920 in times of disaster.
It should be remembered that Emergency Response Kit’s are a Program of RNZWCS Ltd and a Multi-District activity whereas Shelter Box is an independent NGO similar to World Vision which has been supported by many Rotary Clubs worldwide. DG Howard Tong recently gave our District some direction during RI World President Ray Klinginsmith visit to Wellington when he wrote on his Blog Site August 24, 2010 –
“Our primary aim in the District is to meet Pacific disaster responses through ERK’s. Your Club will need to decide how you balance your giving to ERK’s & Shelter Boxes, but clearly our priority over the year should be ERK’s. So I would promote ERK’s while also recommending Shelter Boxes if your Club is looking to meet longer-term needs.”
Please don’t hesitate – make your “Actions Count”
New filled plastic ERK’s are $600 each and Cheques for Payment or Donations should be
marked “Not Transferable” made out to“RNZWCS Ltd (Dist 9940 ERK)”and sent to me as
noted in page 88 of our Rotary Dist 9940 2010/2011 Directory.
THANKYOU sincerely for your continued ERK support. Please contact me for any further ERK assistance or to book a mutually convenient time for me to make a short ERK presentation to your Club if you haven’t already done so.
Remember together we can make a real difference
“Building Communities Bridging Continents.”
