Dear Rotarians,
 
As a Rotarian we are sure you are aware of the recent flooding in eastern Nebraska and southwestern Iowa. It has impacted many of the communities our clubs serve. As a district,  know we are here to help in any way we can. We have had several Rotary districts outside Nebraska contact us to make donations. We have decided to direct cash contributions directly to the American Red Cross as they are best suited to respond to help those most in need. If you or your club would like to make a cash contribution to the relief effort, donations can be made payable to and sent to:
 
American Red Cross - Nebraska Flooding
2912 S 80th Ave 
Omaha, NE  68124
 
These donations will stay locally and benefit the communities most affected in Nebraska and SW Iowa. 
 
As the waters recede and recovery efforts begin we will begin coordinating efforts in the district to help our clubs most effected serve their communities as they recover from this devastating event. We will be reaching out to all of the members of District 5650 to enlist your help to help our fellow Rotarians and their communities recover from this monumental disaster. 
 
Yours in Rotary,
 
Julie O'Hara
District Governor
