Volunteers from RotaryVolunteers from Rotary District 6960 went right to work to assist residents on Luettich and Sherrill Lanes clean up some of the damage Hurricane Irma inflicted on their neighborhood off West Broadway in Estero.

The Rotary Clubs are “adopting” Hurricane Irma-damaged communities, giving priority to those communities with children and the elderly. This will be a long-term project to address all of Irma’s impacts, not only in Estero but Bonita Springs and other neighboring communities in southwest Florida.

Rotary 6960, of which the Estero Rotary is a member, needs volunteers for this endeavor to do everything from heavy lifting to phone calls, sharing posts on social media and raising funds for the project. Those interested in volunteering should send an email to mary@saundersgrouprealty.com and let her know if you are/are not a Rotarian.

The Rotary has set up a Donor Advised Fund through the Rotary Foundation. You may make a contribution to Rotary District 6960 Disaster Relief Fund by check made payable to The Rotary Foundation DAF, in memo line write Rotary District 6960 Relief Fund, Acct# 611, and mail it to Rotary DAF c/o NRS, 12 Gill Street, Suite 2600 Woburn, MA 01801.
