WE NEED YOUR EMERGENCY CONTACT INFORMATION.
As website administrator, I have added custom information fields at the bottom of the main member profile page. Please supply this information. It is information that will help us help you since we care about each other.
Background
Recently our club experienced the loss of long time member Martin Sheps. Because Martin was regular in his attendance, club members who knew Martin became concerned about him when he missed serveral meetings. A visit to his residence revealed that he was not there. It was then that we realized that our club records lacked any emergency contact information so that we could contact his family. Eventually we learned that he had passed away.
It would have been very helpful to have emergency contact information in our club roster contact main page. Our club has become for many of us an extended family because we lack any family here in San Diego.
There are multiple scenarios in which emergency contact information would be needed. The include such things as medical emergencies (i.e stroke or heart attack that might occur at a Rotary meeting, project or event.) After the appropriate medical ressponse, necessary contact with family or others would be necessary. Since the member might not be able to supply such information, our club roster would be the source for this information.
Please update your profile page on the club website.
Thank you for your cooperation in providing this important emergency information.
