Important Information UPDATE - Ukraine and Your Rotary Assistance

The District 7070 Rotary Foundation committee has been watching the expanding humanitarian crisis in Ukraine and knows many clubs are offering support through the Red Cross or ShelterBox to name two. These offer immediate support to the victims. For Rotary Clubs looking to provide support for the Ukraine we are suggesting the following three recommendations:

# 1 - In response to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, the Rotary Foundation has made available the Disaster Response Fund as the main avenue for contributions.
Rotary International has the Disaster Response Fund set up where clubs can apply for Global Grants to help with the crisis.

This will be the main avenue for Rotary Foundation support, but Rotary and Rotaract clubs are also encouraged to create their own responses to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine........ Please Read more.......

It was another outstanding May 10, 2020 Tuesday Talks as we introduced you to a new and unique exhibition of Indigenous history and culture in Muskoka; Misko-Aki; Confluence of Cultures. When completed, in the summer of 2023, visitors will be able to experience the 13,000 year history of the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe, Metis and Mohawk people as the exhibition, in Gravenhurst, will take them on a canoe trip through the culture, history and geography of our region. Your Rotary club can engage in this exciting new approach. We heard from Tim Johnson, Project Director; Gary Getson, Board Chair; Rick McGraw, Director & Chair Revitalization Project; and Bill Empey, District 7070 Coordinator for Honouring Indigenous Peoples.
