Fellow Rotarians,

Now is the time to support our community during these most challenging times. The Disaster Response Committee will solicit donations for the RCAA Pandemic Response Fund from May 1- May 31.

These funds will be awarded through a grant process focused on TWO areas of need:

• Healthcare and Frontline worker support (PPE for health care and essential workers throughout the community)
• Human Services (food security, education, housing and vulnerable populations)

Our goal is $50,000 to be distributed to organizations in Washtenaw County.

YOU can donate in two ways:

• PayPal: Pandemic Response Fund on the website, a2rotary.org ; email with details sent by 5/1

• Check payable to the Ann Arbor Rotary Foundation, please include Pandemic Fund and your email on the Memo line of your check. Mail to Rotary Club of Ann Arbor, P.O. Box 131217, Ann Arbor MI 48113-1217.

A Constant Contact email message will be sent to all members of the club by May 1, soliciting your generous donations and providing further details about how to donate.

We hope that you will help us, help others during this time of NEED in our community. We are counting on each of you to do what you can!! This is truly a time for “Service Above Self”.
