Can you offer to help?

I received a number of enquiries from Clubs wanting to open their homes.  Our theme this year is so true - we do build our communities with our actions.
Read on....

Offers of accommodation please - Rotary District 9970 Governor Margaret Reeve and Past District Governor Stuart Batty will be working with other agencies in the coming days with a view to offering short term breaks outside of Christchurch to firstly affected Rotarians and their families and then to others to assist them in their recovery from the trauma they are undergoing at this time.  Rotarian families outside Christchurch who would be willing to open up their homes [or holiday accommodation], are asked to email stuart.batty@rnzwcs.org with their details to include in a data base.  We are not sure as to the level of need, but clearly many are going through a good deal of personal anxiety at this time.
