Rotarian Response to Earthquake in Haiti

Portland Rotarians are reaching out to those affected by the recent earthquake in Haiti -- the Charitable Trust will be donating $1,000 of Trust funds to purchase a ShelterBox, an emergency supply box containing shelter, supplies, and a variety of other disaster-relief items.

Rotarians can further donate to recovery efforts in Haiti by contributing to The Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund, a fund established by Rotary International to streamline U.S. contributions. You can also text "ROTARY 90999" to make a $5 donation.

The following charitable organizations are also accepting contributions:

Mercy Corps, a global nonprofit headquartered in Portland whose mission is to alleviate suffering by helping to build productive communities.

The Salvation Army, a U.S. ministry movement with a large presence in Haiti.

The Red Cross, the U.S.'s premier emergency response organization. The Red Cross is also accepting text message donations: texting "Haiti 90999" will donate $10.

Medical Teams International, a Christian global health organization that empowers communities to live full and healthy lives.

We appreciate everyone's desire and willingness to help fund aid projects for the survivors in Haiti.

The Rotary Center for Career Training --
New Avenues for Youth

To mark our centennial in 2010, the Rotary Club of Portland is celebrating a "Century of Service" with a transformational community project.

In partnership with Portland-based New Avenues for Youth, the Rotary Club of Portland plans to open the Rotary Center for Career Training in May 2010, which will provide job and educational services for hundreds of homeless and at-risk teens.

Large community projects are a Rotary tradition and an example of how members live up to the Rotary goal of offering 'Service Above Self.' Among our 100-year highlights are: donations to the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital beginning in the 1920's, more than $13 million raised to finance both the Rose Garden Children’s Park and the new Portland Children’s Museum in Washington Park, and $1.5 million to create six 14-person cabins at Rotary Village at YMCA Camp Collins. Our Club is thrilled to contribute to the continued success of New Avenues for Youth, and to continue our community service tradition for the next 100 years.

The Rotary Club of Portland has been making a difference in the lives of its members and in the community since 1910. If you’d like to be one of the leaders connecting to make a difference, ask a member about the application process or contact the Rotary office at 503.228.1542 or info@rotarypdx.org.
