The Thames Rotary Club has funds available to donate to people or organisations who have been affected by the floods that followed Cyclone Gabrielle.
Thames Rotary has already distributed $8300 and expects to receive a further $7000 shortly, and it plans to allocate this before the end of June.
President Jacquie Mitchell said the club’s Rotary District, which encompasses most of the eastern side of the North Island, had been the beneficiary of overwhelming and heart-warming financial support from many generous clubs and individuals throughout New Zealand and even from Australia.
“These funds are to be used to assist with recovery from the disastrous floods experienced by the district,” she said.
“The Thames Club is the only Rotary Club on the peninsula, and we are aware that there are those further from Thames who need assistance.
“We would like to hear from any individual or group who is still experiencing cyclone related difficulties.”
DETAILS: Applications for funding, outlining what the money would be spent on, should be sent to the Thames Rotary Club, giving your contact details, at thames.rotary@gmail.com before Friday, June 30.
