NZ Earthquake Appeal OPEN

The ABC online news reported 2 days ago:
 
More than 1,000 tourists and survivors stranded by landslides have been evacuated from the small seaside town of Kaikoura since the quake struck on Monday.
 
About 450 were taken by the New Zealand navy's multi-role vessel HMNZS Canterbury 150 kilometres south to Christchurch, the South Island's largest city.
 
Most tourists had continued their journeys, but about 130 people were being housed temporarily in Canterbury University's student halls.

RAWCS National has established an Appeal [Project number 32-2016/17] and funds donated will be forwarded to the New Zealand equivalent - Rotary New Zealand World Community Service - for funding support projects where they are most needed. Please consider assisting the communities in need by donating to the RAWCS Project at https://disasters.rawcs.com.au

The advantage of this process is to allow Rotarians and friends to obtain a tax-deductible gift receipt, and to ensure all donors only need to donate into the one account.
 
So how can we help our brothers and sisters in NZ?
I can think of a few ways, ask your club board to consider approving:
And look out for reports from us on the NZ rebuild program.

Thanks for your support in this humanitarian cause, serving humanity.
