Lost Power

Rotarians Helping Rotarians and Others

 

 

After Hurricane Isaias passed by East Hampton about half of the residents were without power. A Rotarian, Charlie, was without power and needed help. Charlie is over 90 years old and has been a Rotarian for a long time. So Bill sent out an e-mail to the East Hampton Rotary Club asking for help for Charlie. Ten(10) Rotarians offered to provide a generator to keep the refrigerator and lights going for Charlie. Within a couple hours a generator was helping Charlie.

 

There were nine additional generators available to help others through the lost power. So in the future in a power failure situation the Rotary Club members who do not lose power, but have generators, will offer them to Rotarians who have lost power. It's simple, easy and a wonderful way to give back.

 

Do it in your Club.

Create a list of members who have generators and are willing to loan them if they do not lose power.

When the event happens Communicate and provide generators to those without power.
