This past March, the Detroit Lakes Noon Rotary Club spearheaded a community-wide fundraiser in support of Ukraine. Though the initial campaign was to raise $30,000 including a pledged $15,000 match from an anonymous donor the effort brought in a total of $44,000 by the time it was over, according to organizers.
As the war in Ukraine continues to fuel a humanitarian crisis of staggering proportions, Americans are looking for effective ways to help. In a special Ask the Expert presentation, the Northbrook Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Rotary Club of Northbrook welcomes Rotary International s General Secretary and CEO John Hewko at noon Wednesday, May 25, for a firsthand look at how the global organization has mobilized to provide aid for refugees. Mr. Hewko will participate and answer audience questions via Zoom.
