Rotary Calendar of Events
 
The Rotary Calendar of events that has been published in the Sunriser will be phased out by the end of September.  A more complete calendar is being developed on the club website.  The calendar is one of the tabs on the menu at the top of the home page at RB Sunrise.org.  
 
The calendar is displayed in the month format so you can easily see all of the events that will occur during the month.  You can also click ahead to see what events have been posted for future months.  For example, club board of directors meetings schedule dates have now been posted through January 2018.  This calendar also shows the speakers for our club meetings.  Club social events will be posted there as well.  Because our ClubRunner account allows for event management, club social events posted on the calendar will have the capability to allow you to RSVP to the event chair to register for the event.

New Ways to Help Victims of Hurricane Harvey

This is a message from 2017-2018 District 5340 Governor Scott Carr.
 
Our neighbors toe the east are facing a natural disaster of epic proportions right now.  Some experts have estimated that Harvey could be the single costliest storm this country has ever faced. Thousands of residents are waking up this morning huddled in storm shelters, not sure what (if anything) remains for the go home to.
 
Members of Rotary are often the first to ask, "How can I help?" It warms my heart to have heard from so many of you wanting to know how best you could make a difference in these devastated areas.
 
We have just launched a new web portal to provide ways to support Harvey relief efforts.  I am also very pleased to announce the launch of the Rotary District 5340 Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization designed specifically to support disaster relief efforts like those taking place in Texas and Louisiana.  Starting today, the 5340 Foundation is collecting donations that will support the American Red Cross, and ShelterBoss. Donations you make to the 5340 Foundation can be earmarked for the charity of your choice (e.g. 100% to one or 50% to each) or they can be used to help fund our response to future disasters.  All this will be done while keeping future fundraising solicitations to an absolute minimum.
 
Several Rotary Districts have also mobilized and have provided information on emergency relief funds that they have set up.  Our new web portal can help sort through the options to support these individual efforts directly.  Please check harvey.rotary5340.org often, as we will be posting updates there on how Rotarians are supporting the relief efforts that are just now beginning.
 
While Harvey has been downgradd as a storm, it still remains a threat.  The cleanup  has not even begun in many parts of the region. Just this morning, new reports emerged of a chemical plant exploding due to loss of power and oil storage tanks toppling over from the floodwaters, releasing thousands of gallons of oil into the environment.  The for help is great.  I am heartened by the outpouring of support out District has shown. Rotarians are truly People of Action. Let's put our words into action and start helping these victims beging to reclaim their lives. 
 
Thank you very much
 
Scott Carr
District Governor 2017-18
 
P.S. Many Rotarians have also asked how they can help provide donations of item such as necessities like clothing, blankets and more. Many of the highways right now resemble lakes. (click here to see how bad it really is). When those roads dry out, our challenge will be the logistics of transporting those goods to the areas where they are needed most.  If you have ideas or leads on how we could transport these items, please email directly at scarr@rotary5340.org.

This year's seminar is entitled "People of Action"  Our district foundation seminars have always been a great way for Rotarians to learn about Rotary is doing in the world.  Because this year's seminar is in our own backyard, it will be easy for members of our club to attend this event.
