From our President Marta Carrion -
"As you all know, Robert Grede, one of our members, has been very active in helping Ukraine in different ways. He will be presenting information about a possible joint disaster relief grant with the Cherkasy, Ukraine Rotary Club. I am also doing a brief update of PETS (President Elect Training Seminar) and other possible service projects we could consider doing this year."

Pole Joins Rotary on Rotary Club Milwaukee Amigos Rotarian's Recommendation

Early in 2022, Rotary Club Milwaukee Amigos member, Robert Grede, raised money to help Ukrainian refugees fleeing to Poland.
 
He used the money to buy medical supplies in Vienna and drove them across Eastern Europe to Jaroslaw, Poland, where he was met by members of the Jaroslaw Rotary Club as well as Rotary members from Lviv and Cherkasy, Ukraine, who delivered the supplies to the front lines.
 
Speaking neither Polish nor Ukrainian, Grede was reliant upon a local high school English teacher, Chris Tuczapski, who served as a guide and interpreter during Grede's time in Poland. The two became friends, and when Grede attended the local Jaroslaw Rotary Club meeting, he nominated Chris to become a member.
 
This past December 8, Chris Tuczapski became an official member of the Jaroslaw, Poland Rotary Club.

    Rotary Responds to Earthquake

    Turkey and Syria were struck by a devastating earthquake on 6 February that has killed tens of thousands of people, destroyed thousands of homes and other structures, and left people across the region without shelter in bitterly cold winter weather.

    The Rotary world responded to this catastrophe immediately. RI President Jennifer Jones activated our disaster response efforts, communicated with the affected districts, and encouraged governors in those regions to apply for disaster response grants and share information about their relief efforts so that Rotary can amplify the calls for support.

    The Rotary Foundation Trustees decided that all donations made, from now until 31 March, to the Turkey/Syria Disaster Response Fund will be used to aid earthquake relief projects. In addition, the Trustees made available more than $125,000 to Rotary districts affected by the earthquake through Disaster Response Grants.

    Rotary's project partner ShelterBox also has an emergency response team assessing the needs in the region and how it can respond. That team is communicating with Rotary district leaders. Rotary's service partner Habitat for Humanity International is also working on its response. Many Rotary members are asking how they can help. Here's how to have the greatest impact:

    • Give to Turkey/Syria Disaster Response Fund. Donations help clubs and districts provide aid and support rebuilding efforts where the need is greatest. The funds are distributed to affected communities through disaster response grants. The Disaster Response Fund can accept cash contributions and District Designated Funds (DDF).
    • Support local initiatives. As we learn about local response efforts that are being led by clubs and districts, Rotary raises awareness about how to support them. People can then support these projects by working directly with Rotary members in the region. If you want us to publicize information about local response efforts, write to relief@rotary.org.
