Our Rotary District 7020 has established the Haiti Task Force as the conduit for all Foundation-related projects. We have established a Haiti Task Force whose role is: (1) to review the initiatives intended for Haiti with TRF involvement, and (2) to help designate the appropriate Club or Clubs, and (3) to ensure the ability of TRF compliance before moving forward. We created the Haiti Task Force three years ago (2007), and developed it significantly over the last year with this purpose.
