The D7150 Community Service Committee, with the support
of District Governor Bruce Frassinelli, have set up the following
means of contributing to the families of
victims in the New York area via a D7150
September Eleventh Fund for WTC Victims Families.
You may contribute by sending
your check to: The Rome Rotary Club Benevolent Fund, P. O.
Box 4334, Rome, NY 13440 or by
credit card payment on our secure
shopping cart here. All donations will go through the Oneida/Herkimer
Community Foundation, a 503C foundation which qualifies contributors
to a tax credit, and then be sent to NYC to aid the families of victims:
the brave firefighters and police officers who lost their lives trying
to rescue people from the WTC, and to orphans left behind.
Contributing Clubs and Individual
Contributions will be awarded a special Certificate of Community
Service Above Self. View list of contributors.

Secure websites:
You will know when you are giving credit card information on a website
when you see a gray box that says the following: "You are about
to view pages over a secure connection. Any information you exchange
with this site cannot be viewed by anyone else on the Web". When
you click the OK button, you will notice that the http at the top
has turned into https and you will see a locked padlock on the bottom
gray area of your browser window. Thus you know this is a secure page.
As we continue to assess the extent of victims' needs,
the committee requests that each club appoint a September
Eleventh Chairperson who has an email address to be the point
person so we keep the information flowing back to Clubs in a timely
manner. Please e-mail the name of that person to committee member
Marlene Brown.
