Dear Rotarians,
 
I am sure I do not need to explain the havoc the flood has generated in our community.  And should come as no surprise that N. Rosenberg is the area that has been hardest hit.   As an organization that puts "Service Above Self", it is our mandate to respond in a timely and aggressive manner.
 
I am proposing:  1. That we declare Sat. June 25th a work day for our club in N. Rosenberg, to work along side Barry and The Friends of N. Rosenberg to help prepare for Mission Week in N. Rosenberg, that is to begin on June 27th. (See Barry's email as of yesterday in support of this proposal that defined potential jobs for our club on this date.)
2.  We invite all clubs and Rotarians in District 5890 to join us in this effort, by piggy-backing off of the organizational structure established by the Ft. Bend Strong Coalition.   (you can go to the Central Ft Bend Chamber of Commerce web site for more info:  http://www.cfbca.org/ )  The short story is that they are keeping up with the flood response needs on a dynamic basis.  Any volunteer can report to BF Terry HS, at any time (7 AM to 7 PM I believe) during the next 30 days, and receive directions on what the current volunteer needs are, and be given a job.  There is also a dynamic list of items that need to be donated to help families in need if Rotarians want to help but can not be present on June 25th.
 
YIRS,
Hugh Conway, President
Rotary  Club of Rosenburg
