FIRE FIGHTERS HELPED
While in Portugal, Assistant Governor Coordinator, Robert Morrow, delivered the donation from the Rotary Club of Dundas Valley Sunrise to a charity which is working to replace the tattered uniforms of the “bombeiros” (volunteer firefighters) in the Algarve. After battling forest fires for months, their uniforms were basically destroyed from sweat and burns.
To raise the money to replace the uniforms, the club held an event in association with a local satellite (club), and the a local chapter of the Rotary Wine Appreciation Fellowship. The evening was warm with wonderful fellowship and resulted in enough money to buy four uniforms (about 1400 Euros or C$2000).
This is just another example of the wide reach of Rotary throughout the world - Being an Inspiration to others.
