Talk About Rotary Connecting The World
We collected supplies from our club & Interact clubs, community members kicked in donations, the guys from FODAC are helping us get our donations to Florida and Ed Klaas's network is going to use a barge to take the supplies directly to the islands that need it the most in the Bahamas. This is another great example of Rotary connecting the world. Thanks to all who helped make this happen!
