Rotarians helping others!
All of us are concerned about those who have been touched by the devastation in South Texas due to Hurricane Harvey.
 
The Rotary Governors from that area have sent the following information about how to make donations to support their disaster relief efforts. They are on the ground and have first hand knowledge what is needed for their area at this time.
 
Please consider supporting them during this difficult time.
