[Rotary] Maui Fires Relief Fund

Fri Aug 11 12:47:12 PDT 2023

We still need to know how much is in that disaster fund.As much as I want to send as much as we can, our budget year has just started. If we allocate all of that budget line item to Maui we will not have anything left for anything else that may come up. And if I were a betting person I would say there will be more scenarios in need.We could always try and utilize Margaret's idea of reaching out to the community for donations.Ray AlarconAlarcon Ins AgencyPO Box 2539Mendocino, CA 95460707-937-5050CA Lic#0B68172
