Brattleboro Rotary Club President Carla Lineback
 
While the Australian bushfires were being put out, Rotary clubs in Vermont and New Hampshire were gathering funds to help with the aftermath. This has resulted in close to $25,000 being donated to the effort. Locally, the Brattleboro Rotary Club and Brattleboro Sunrise Rotary Club donated $500 towards this effort.
 
"We have all seen the disastrous fires that have erupted, taking lives as well as destroying hundreds of homes and properties across Australia, " said Brattleboro Rotary Club President Carla Lineback. "Rotary is once again taking the lead and looking to provide support for families in need."
