Brian Maddox - Sarasota Club President sent the following text message and request to Rotarian friends outside the southwest Florida area.
 
Presidents, I just talked to Andy. Everything South of Venice is beyond words. He has asked each of you to please have your members
 
1) go to www.rotaryfl.org to make a financial donation if they are able. 
 
2) go to rotaryfl.org if you can take in another Rotarian. If you have a spare room, please consider helping.
 
3) go to rotaryfl.org if you have supplies of any kind. Tables, coolers, gloves, chain saws and more. 
 
4) go to rotaryfl.org if you need help. 
 
5) please share the rotaryfl.org website on your social media as well. 
 
This is worse than you can imagine. This is day 5 for those who lost everything. It could have been us. 
 
Many, including me have no access to email. Please call or text.
