Regretfully, we're going to have to ask you to register and create an account with the Rotary Zones 29-30 help website. While this is really a simple process and is typically required at most sites, we've tried to avoid it for "ease-of-use".
Twice in the last few weeks, we've been hacked by person or persons unknown and their actions have brought down our servers, forcing us to reload the operating systems and restore our accounts.
Please look on the left hand side for a box that says" Login Form" and toward the bottom you'll see "No account yet? Create one". Click on "Create one" and you'll be ready to go. The system will send you an email to activate your account and that's all!
Thanks for your patience, and Bob Stuart's patience as well. He is an amazing Director, a great person and a spectacular friend. |

State of Rotary District 6840 |
|
Areas of Rotary District 6840 were severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005. The city of New Orleans and areas along the Mississippi Gulf Coast suffered the greatest damage.
New Orleans
Several of the floodwalls protecting the city from hurrican tidal surges were overtopped or failed, flooding 80% of the city of New Orleans. Since this catastrophe, much progress has been made in restoring the city, but much remains to be done. The French Quarter, Central Business District and the area along St. Charles Avenue containing the beautiful architecture of the 19th century, escaped the devastating floodwaters, and have returned to near normal. New Orleans will host its first major convention since Katrina in June, 2006. The American Library Association will meet on June 22, 2006 at the New Orleans Convention Center with 20,000 attendees.
Much of the suburban portions west and north of the city escaped the brunt of the storm and suffered relatively minor damage.
However, flood damaged residential properties, schools, churches and other institutions in the city remain in need or repair and restoration. These were the areas inundated with floodwaters up to 10 feet deep. The Rotary Clubs of the New Orleans area are actively pursuing projects to revitalize schools, residential properties, community services, city parks and other institutions. Residents are just beginning to resotre their homes in some portions of the city, while in other areas little progress has been made to date. |
