Dear Rotarians,
1. On March 13th, 2011, I have received an appeal for help by the Malaysian Red Crescent Johor Bahru Chapter, Community Services comittee. We are notified that, at this hour of needs, the Royal Patron DYMM Raja Zarith Sofiah of Malaysian Red Crescent JB will personally be launching a donation drive for the victims of the Japan earthquake & tsunami. This event will take place in Persada Convention Centre, Room 306, JB, at 3pm Monday, 14th March 2011. All donations will be tax exempted. Rotarians are encouraged to attend and to wear their Rotary vest to the event to show Rotary also cares. For more info, you could contact Mr Vela at 0197555600. So far, more than RM100,000 are collected.
2. With the blessings of DG, Disaster Relief committee member PP Lip Kee is also working closely with the Singapore Red Cross to consider launching a SMS Donation drive to raise funds in Singapore for the same cause to help the Japanese victims. For more info, please contact PP Lip Kee at lipkee@gmail.com Latest update: S$300,000 collected.
Please help where you can. Thank you very much.

PP Dr Ho
Disaster Relief Committee Chair
