Rotary Club of Little Rock
By PDG Sam Chaffin
The Katrina Taskforce of the RC of Little Rock (99) has recommended a project to help persons of Lacombe, Louisiana rebuild their homes. These homes completely damaged, still wet and covered with mold, must be torn out and left to dry and then rebuilt. Lacombe is a small rural community of Catholic Cajuns who have received little help from FEMA or other government agencies. We will be working with the Mandeville Rotary Club and Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of Arkansas. Needed are 3 to 4 person teams to work three days up to one week or financial sponsorships to support the effort. Contact PDG Sam Chaffin – sam@samchaffin.com

I am so proud when I think about the time, efforts, money and resources our District 6150 Rotarians are investing to help the areas devastated by the recent hurricanes. In the spirit of cooperation that you've heard me speak about during my official club visits, Rotarians are banding together with other organizations and individuals to expand their potential to help.
