All donations to our Disaster Response Fund from March 3 to April 30, 2022, have been prioritized for use in providing humanitarian aid to regions that are supporting Ukrainian refugees or other victims of the war. Thanks to the generosity of donors around the world, we raised more than $10.4 million in contributions that are already helping provide people with essential items such as water, food, shelter, medicine, and clothing.
So far, 64 disaster response grants totalling $1.8 million have been awarded to support people affected by the war. The Rotary Foundation will continue to use the donations for humanitarian aid in and around Ukraine, and districts can apply for these grants until June 30, 2022.
Donations made to the Disaster Response Fund after April 30 will be available to all communities worldwide that need assistance recovering from disasters.

Thank you for responding so thoroughly to the Current Status survey questionnaire. Lars Henriksson has collated the comments and crunched the numbers. Your copy will arrive shortly.
The next survey is a written exercise - that document is on its way too. Whether or not you were able to complete the first survey, your written contribution to plotting the future for the Passport Club is vital.
We will have lots to discuss at the Data Extraction meeting on 17 May. After all,
We make Rotary fit your life!
