Dear Members and Friends:
The RCoPB in our fine tradition is trying to rally Phuket to give for the Nepal Earthquake victims. Our gift will be combined with many clubs in our district and be presented to Nepalese Rotary Clubs at the epicenter in Nepal.
Here is a press release that went out:
Press release 28 April 2015
The Rotary Club of Patong Beach is collecting money for the victims of the recent Nepal earthquake on behalf of all Phuket and the collected money will be sent through Rotary channels direct to Rotary Clubs in the disaster areas. This will guarantee that all funds make it to the victims because Rotary is a 100% volunteer organization and no funds given for charity are ever used for administration costs.
From President Brad Kenny of the Rotary Club of Patong Beach, “This all relates back to how many people helped us during our time in need, the 2004 Asia Tsunami. The Rotary Club of Patong Beach had more than 1 million US dollars donated from people around the world for our relief work in Thailand. This is our way acknowledge how the world opened there hearts to us and to give back on behalf of all Phuketiens.”
As we collect funds, every week or so, they will be released and on their way to the victims through Nepalese Rotary Clubs.
Those wishing to donate money for this specific cause should visit rotarypatong.org and click on “Bank Account Details” for directions. All donations must be followed up with an email or phone call to Mr Kenny, with details of the amount and that it is earmarked for the Nepal disaster relief fund.
Mr. Kenny’s email is president@rotarypatong.org and his phone number is 081-633-4279.
You can see this info on line at PhuketWan and I do believe the other newspapers will follow: http://phuketwan.com/…/patong-rotary-steps-help-phuket-hel…/ . This is also posted to our facebook page:
Please spread the word around Phuket, we shall present the funds together as from Phuket.
