Volunteer Surge

To All Rotarians in Zones 33 & 34 –

We have an exceptional and extraordinary request of you and all Rotary members in our Zones, to join the fight against COVID-19. What if there was a way to help, from the safety of our homes, and make a real difference?

Clubs in our Zones are leading an extraordinary new effort, and your immediate participation is critical to its success. This program was announced Monday April 6 via a press release (CNN, NYT, and other major coverage), and will be adopted by Rotary clubs across the nation in the next few days.

The background is this: Three weeks ago, Rotarians in a local club were engaged to recruit 1 million volunteers to sign up with Volunteer Surge, a new program that allows an individual to train online, to become a TeleHealth Worker, or a Community Health Worker. These volunteers will provide basic assistance, and will reduce suffering and save lives of people, locally and across the nation. How? By helping health care providers to focus more of their attention where it is most needed.

TIME IS CRITICAL

The world is watching, and we, as Rotarians, people of action, are now truly defined by our actions in this crisis.

With appreciation and thanks,
