<p id="m_-13355757195974752yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487716246057_25159">“Hello Fellow Rotarians! Well, it certainly has been a tumultuous ride since the “Summer of Fire” hit Lake County in 2015. As most of you know the four Rotary Clubs in Lake County (Lakeport, Middletown, Clearlake and Kelseyville) jumped into action right after the Valley Fire broke out on September 12, 2015 and through their Foundation (LARCA) established a fire relief fund with an initial goal of $50,000. Well, when you’re a Rotarian, the world trusts you and that goal was surpassed within the first week. To date, we are just shy of $1Million raised for the residents of Lake County ($950K approximately)! It was a good thing too because just when we thought we were well into the re-building process, the Clayton Fire tore through downtown Lower Lake in August of 2016 destroying hundreds of homes and businesses. Our LARCA Fire Relief Fund sprang into action within 24 hours and we continue to assist in the rebuilding of all those that have suffered greatly from these disasters. In the past 17 months we have helped countless families, organizations and businesses with the rebuilding of their lives, and we’ve been able to do it with no overhead expenses. THANK YOU to all of you that have placed your trust in us and I can assure you the committee takes that responsibility very seriously and continues to do the good work that is still very much in need in our community.</p>

<p id="m_-13355757195974752yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487716246057_25124">Now to the purpose of this email. One of our earlier projects we identified was the destructive loss of so many of our beautiful trees. We paid for the propagation of 100,000 to be disseminated to property owners. The seedlings have been growing in a large greenhouse facility for the past year and are now ready to plant. Another goal we had from early on was to have a project that the community as well as Rotarians and other volunteers from near and far could participate in. Well, it’s time. We have set aside 3,000 of those trees and will be hosting a Rotary Re-Forestation project at the Middletown Trailside Park on Saturday, March 25<sup>th</sup>. We hope that you will be able to come and I want to encourage you to share this information with anyone that would like to come help this community heal just a bit more. Lunch will be provided so I will need an approximate headcount of how many you will be. </p>

I, for one, never really knew the power that Rotary has until going through this experience – certainly makes me proud to be apart of it. See you on March 25<sup>th</sup>!”</p>
