East Coast Kitchen Party

Exciting News!!!

We have been informed that we have an anonymous donor who is willing to match our East Coast Kitchen Party donations up to a predetermined amount at 7:30 May 30th!! For a example at 7:30 pm on Saturday if our page has raised $2000 that will be matched.

What this means to you is that we need to get the word out to all of our friends, family and random people on the streets! 

Although our fundraiser for the Food Bank will continue on after the party on Saturday, the more we collect before 7:30 pm the day of the event the more matching money we will receive.

Please take a minute to share this message to your contacts and place on your social media pages. It's a wonderful cause and a great way to get extra money.

Click on the link to register and we will email a zoom link prior to the performance! https://trellis.org/6330passport

If you are on the American side of our District, and want to make a donation to the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan click here: https://give.fbem.org/ge/passport

***Donations made before 7:30 pm Saturday, May 30th will be matched by an anonymous donor***

6330 Passport Croatian Friendship

Rotary Club Zagreb is the club that hosted Pam on her Rotary Youth Exchange 18 years ago when she went to Croatia for the first time.  6330 Passport had a friendship exchange with Croatia and know many of these Rotarians personally. 
Stoves for El Salvador
 
6330 Passport members reached out on social media during a recent projects trip to El Salvador to secure stoves for a village in El Salvador.  We were in the village as a Rotary project to help present stoves to much of the village but found that there were additional families in need.  The stoves are made locally and cost approximately $70.00 US.  The stoves use less wood than open fire burning and are safer for the family.  We delivered 40 stoves that day and raised funds for 53 more with the help of the local mayor, the Rotary Club of Noroeste and Clubs in District 6990 (Florida), 7040 (Ontario/NY) and friends and family of 6330 Passport. Thank you to all the contributors.

Disaster Relief - Cyclone Idai May 2019

6330 Passport makes contribution to Cyclone Idai relief: 

The Global Literacy Project has taken a little detour from the sea container loads of school supplies we usually ship and we wanted you to know.

On March 14 Cyclone Idai devastated much of central Mozambique and parts of Zimbabwe and Malawi. In addition to the growing number of dead and homes destroyed, cases of Cholera have risen from 5 on March 27 to over 1000 by April 2 and over 4700 by April 11. In addition over 700,000 Hectares of crops ready to harvest have been destroyed!

The Rotary Club of Grand Bend’s Global Literacy Committee is preparing a 40’ sea container for shipment to the Rotary Club of Donda, near Beira Mozambique. Rotary Clubs will distribute the goods to those in most need.

Here is a message from one of the students that 6330 Passport sent to RYLA....

“Thank you so much for the Invitation to the Seminar! I’m very glad that I had this opportunity, I’ve met people I wouldn’t have even had the chance to. I really feel like as a group and as the weekend moved on we grew stronger as leaders and I feel like I’ve learned more things about myself and my leadership style than I could have imagined. I’ve truly gained knowledge that will be helpful in my future including on exchange. I can’t express how glad I am that Rotary sponsored me for this weekend. Thank you!!!!
Kathryn”
