One year anniversary
On the one year anniversary of the devastating earthquake in Haiti, I would ask all Rotarians to take a moment today and remember the horrific incident and those who were affected through loss of life, limb or loss of a relative or friend.
Our Rotarian friends in Haiti were all thrown into a whirlwind of response with which they have done an outstanding job! They have helped others, even though they are also victims. They help their communities, even though their families also need help.
They were hit by the earthquake, then Cholera, then Hurricane Tomas, and now the election results. And yet they stay steady in working on helping others to handle all these difficulties. They make me proud to be a Rotarian!
Let us all take another moment to publicly say Thank You, Tip our Hat, Raise our Glass, Salute and generally recognize the substantive effort they are making to make our world a better place.
Thank you.

District 7020
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.
