Rotary Zones 33 & 34 Florida Tornado Fund 2007 |
|
Rotary Zones 33 and 34 established the Florida Tornado Fund 2007 (Tornado Fund), a donor advised fund
within The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International, to streamline the flow of contributions from Rotarians
looking to assist victims of the devastating February 2007 tornado which affected four counties in Florida,
USA.
The Tornado Fund directors, including RI Director Barry Rassin, will work with local Rotary clubs and
districts, as well as emergency relief agencies, to meet the most pressing needs of people in affected areas.
The directors will make grant recommendations after consulting with the District Governors of the affected
area or their designees. Funds remaining following the initial emergency relief effort will be used for projects
providing longer-term support and development.

George Rodrique presents a silkscreen benefiting the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
 "Those of us from South Louisiana grew up with the aftermaths of hurricanes Audrey, Betsy, Camille...and now Katrina. As with times before, "we will rise again." Tears and rising water threaten to drown us. But don't be deceived. The land may be under water, but the spirit of New Orleans and the culure of Louisiana hold their heads high.
We Will Rise Again shows the American flag covered with water. The blue dog is partly submerged, and its eyes, normally yellow, are red with a broken heart....
Katrina hit me personally at Ground Zero. My immediate thought was for the safety of people I know, followed by the shock of seeing helicopters and boats alongside familiar street signs, as rescuers assisted people from rooftops and attics. For the second time in this young 21st century I sat at my easel weighted by personal sorrow and my desire to help, this time also reflecting on the devastation of my city and the suffering of my neighbors.
New Orleans has been home to my gallery and studio for sixteen years; it is where the Blue Dog was born. My wife is a third generation New Orleanian, and the Big Easy remains the 'big city' to my Cajun hometown of New Iberia. Wendy and I join thousands of New Orleans residents in our pledge to go HOME, to re-build our city, and to pay tribute to those who lost their lives with a commitment to care for our citizens, embrace our culture, and make the good times roll... again."
