Brad Miller was contacted by a rotarian in Fiji, Gene Calvert, who has visited our club in the past. The Fiji islands sustained a tremendous amount of damage from a hurricane that measured 185 miles per hour. Donations can be sent to Gene’s club, the Savu Savu Rotary, and to Shelterbox. Please contact Brad for more information and with ideas as to how our club can help.
