This is a "news" item for the Club and for the bulletin.
The International Committee approved a $500 donation to the Altruist Relief Kitchen (ARK), a not for profit organization that provides emergency relief to people in natural disasters and to refugees at the USA border. The founder of this organization is Lucas Wilcox who was the guest of Clyde and Vivian at Rotary on the 11th.
Lucas Wilcox will be a speaker at our club meeting on May 2. Lucas will not solicit funds because his presentations are not about fund raising. He is interested in sharing what his organization is doing and he wants to get feedback, advice and learn from others' expertise to improve his organization and the services he delivers. It seems as though the ARK is following four of Rotary's areas of focus:
- Peace and conflict prevention/resolution
- Disease prevention and treatment
- Water and sanitation
- Maternal and child health
