A message from the District Governor, Grant Hocking -
Like all Australians, we have been deeply impacted by the bushfires in our country. District 9800 has established a Bushfire Response Committee to coordinate our District response to the bushfires. We are working with the other Districts to ensure we coordinate and maximise our response to those communities in need as base it on the identified needs from those communities.
District 9800 is providing two separate ways for Rotary Clubs, Rotarians and members of the public to provide donations to our Bushfire Recovery efforts.
The first fund will provide Rotary Clubs and individuals not seeking a tax deduction and allow us more flexibility to take immediate action.
Account: Rotary International District 9800 - Australian Bushfire Appeal
BSB: 633000 Account Number: 171227895
The second fund through Bendigo Banks Community Enterprise Foundation allows tax deductibility to individual donors or businesses who require this option. Bendigo Bank has waived their administration fees.

If you need to discuss anything related to the bushfire efforts please contact D9800 Bushfire Response Committee chair Sue Foley Sue.Foley@bendigoadelaide.com.au or myself.
Thank you again for all you are doing to support the bushfire affected communities.
