Rotary's motto of "Service Above Self" conveys the humanitarian spirit of our more than 1.2 million members.  This year Massachusetts is celebrating it's 100th year of Rotary with the birthday of the Boston club, the 7th to be founded worldwide. We couldn't think of anything more appropriate to focus on as part of celebrating the centennial than to reach out with fellow rotarians from around the world to help provide shelter for the 1,000's of people made homeless by the earthquake in Haiti.   Rotary is uniquely set up to help in worldwide crises because we have local Rotary clubs all over the world with members who are involved with and experienced in serving their communities locally. In Haiti " Rotary has an incredible infrastructure established before the quake, which has made our relief efforts very effective," says Dick McCombe, past District Governor at Rotary District 7020 and Haiti liaison chair. " We're flying in supplies through backdoor channels and doing things a lot of agencies can't do." McCombe heads the district's Haiti Task Force, set up two years ago to administer all financial aid to the nation and is working with local clubs to deliver aid to Port-au-Prince and those who have taken refuge in the countryside," says McCombe.
