Rotary 9970 Earthquake Recovery Support Project (EQRSP)
The Project Team established to lead this project met on 7 April 2011
· to hear updates on recent developments in Rotary involvement in EQ Recovery, information on the District Fund and also support from outside the District
· to review Workshop Information from the 12 March meeting with Presidents, AGs, Inner Wheel leaders
· to discuss networking, PR and communications.
The role of the team was identified as a broker facilitating projects and directing funds to causes including funds allocated in other Rotary Districts. There is a need to tap into community organisations and local needs.
A Register has been made available by District Administrator Ken Booth and this will be published both within the District and to other New Zealand districts so that needs can be identified and met.
New Zeland-based district Rotarians can access this via http://www.eqsupportregister.rotarysouthpacific.org/
