Paradise Rotary Club, Help Needed
How we can help our fellow Rotarian's of the Rotary Club of Paradise California.
Here is a link that connects straight to the Rotary of Paradise Foundation. It also provides instructions as to how to get a tax cut from your donation.
Additionally one may make out checks to the Paradise Rotary Foundation and mail them to:
Scheer Memorial Chapel, 2410 Foothill Blvd, Oroville, Ca 95966
Here is an update of the fire (as of Nov 16)
142,000 acres; 45% containment
9,800 homes lost
2,000 businesses destroyed
60+ dead bodies found
630+ persons missing
70 of the 80 Paradise Rotarian's are now homeless
Additionally, there are roughly 30,000 evacuees taking refuge in Chico where the air quality is so poor that it has been dark since last week and remained at a temperature of 30 Degrees around the clock. These evacuees did not have time to grab anything when they left and escaped with only the clothes on their backs. (it was 85 degrees that day) Since then they have been living in friends' homes, local churches and even camping in parking lots. Officials believe the fire will not be put out until the end of the month.  Once the fire is put out evacuees still will not have anyplace to g, as the town of Paradise is bare and not suitable to live in anymore. There are no buildings left and the water isn't even drinkable. Because of this there is an extremely high demand for houses in the Chico/Butte County area this holiday season.
The most valuable donation one can make is monetary.  As soon as the fire is out and the government aid is gone, the Paradise Rotary Foundation plans to step in and put its' funds towards reconstruction. Whatever is in high demand will be Rotary's goal to provide.

20 Top Reasons to be a Rotarian
1.Friendship: In an increasingly complex world, Rotary provides one of the most basic human needs: the need for friendship and fellowship. It is one of two reasons why Rotary began in 1905.
2. Business Development: The second original reason for Rotary's beginning is business development. Everyone needs to network. Rotary consists of a cross section of every business community. Its members come from all walks of life. Rotarians help each other.
3. Personal Growth and Development: Membership in Rotary continues one's growth and education in human relations and personal development.
4. Leadership Development: Rotary is an organization of leaders and successful people. Serving in Rotary positions is like a college education. Leadership: learning how to motivate, influence and lead leaders.
5. Citizenship in the Community: Membership in a Rotary club makes one a better community citizen. The average Rotary club consists of the most active citizens of any community.
