Emergency Response Kits (ERKs) Needed
 
 
You will all be aware of the devastation caused by Cyclone Harold in the Pacific Islands in the last few weeks. As Stuart Batty explained on our Rotary zoom meeting last week RNZCWS had stocks of ERKs handily placed around the South Pacific that were able to be distributed.
 
They now need to be replaced. Our Club finances have been impacted by a number of recent events with Covid-19 just being one of them. I am therefore encouraging Rotarians to think differently about sponsoring replacement ERKS.
 
Arie and myself are willing to jointly sponsor half an ERK and are looking for one or two partners to make up the difference. If interested please contact one of us. Perhaps some of our members could talk to fellow Rotarians, friends or family members and jointly sponsor an ERK which cost $600 each.
 
Stuart would be happy to supply you with any details and the appropriate Bank Account number to deposit the money into. 
 
Janice Geerlofs President-elect
