Tasmanian Bushfires

Posted by Gabby Knaepple

To assist those communities in Tasmania devastated by the bushfires, District 9830 has established the ‘Rotary Tasmania Bushfire Appeal’ with an initial donation of $5,000 from their Disaster Relief Fund. The Appeal will seek to fund recovery projects that will have a long term direct influence on affected communities. They will work closely with the Rotary Clubs in those areas who have local knowledge of where the funds can best be used.

Our District has contributed $2,500 to this fund and District 9810 clubs, individual Rotarians and friends are invited to contribute by either:

Sending a cheque to Mike Whitehouse, District 9830 Finance Manager at 42 Auburn Road, Kingston TAS 7050. Cheques to be made payable to Rotary Tasmania Bushfire Appeal. A receipt will be issued but the donation is not tax deductible.
