Rotary: Help Flood Victims in Texas

As the 6270 District Governor, I am writing to each of you about the devastating floods that have recently hit central Texas. Our Rotary district is very close to the district where the flooding happened. This is because of the structure of Rotary, with clubs within districts and districts within Zones. Personally, I love my counterparts in Texas and I know all those folks are suffering.
 
To follow Here is a way for us to help. I copied the message I received from our Rotary Zone, as requested by the District Governor in central Texas. Craig Hardy is working hard to help everyone in the district who is affected by the floods - which is pretty much everyone!
 
If you are able to help, there are several ways to contribute. Whatever you give is tax-deductible, to the extent allowed by the IRS in your personal situation.  Please click on the READ MORE... and give what you can. Let's show everyone what Rotary can do when we "unite for good"!!
 
Thank you!
Liz Nevitt - Rotary District 6270, District Governor (2025-26)

Good afternoon,
District Governor Craig Hardy asked me to send you the email that we are sending out to our Rotarians which includes the links for how people can donate to the Rotary District 5840 Foundation fund for the Disaster Relief.
 
Rotary District 5840 is now accepting tax-deductible donations through our 501(c)(3) Foundation to support urgent disaster relief efforts following the devastating flooding in Kerrville and nearby areas.
 
As many of you know, the Guadalupe River rose over 30 feet—well above its major flood stage—resulting in tragic loss of life and severe damage. Kerrville is home to two of our own Rotary Clubs, and together we are committed to standing with the community as they begin the long road to recovery.
 
Your generous contribution will:
  • Provide some immediate relief to affected families
  • Support local Rotarians in cleanup and rebuilding efforts
  • Fund long-term recovery solutions within our communities
We are working hand-in-hand with the Rotary Clubs of Kerrville, who will guide us on how best to direct support and when it will be safe for volunteers to mobilize.
