Rotary raffling painting to raise money for clean water
Florence donated $4,000 and
four other Oregon Rotary
clubs donated $500 each.
These donations where
matched by the Oregon
Rotary District 5110. The
Rotary Foundation matched
these contributions to pro-
vide the $34,000 needed for
this project.
This year, the Rotary Club
of Florence is working on a
grant to provide clean water
to a village in Peru. The vil-
lage of Belen de Urco’s
water source is contaminat-
ed, like 70 percent of all
water sources in Peru.
Peruvian children get sick
from the water and miss
school. The parents are
trapped wanting better lives
for their families.

Having a community
water system providing
clean safe water will
help them improve their
lives.
A grant for Peru will
require the Rotary Club of
Florence to come up with
$6,000.
Florence Rotary’s world
community service chair-
man Ron Caputo said,
“We’re still about $1,000
short, so I am raffling off a
painting by previous Rotary
club of Florence member
George Lewis, titled ‘Wild
Flowers.’”
For anyone who wants to
help fund this grant, Caputo
can be reached at the
Florence Events Center on
Tuesdays at noon.

Each year, the Florence
Rotary Club reaches out
somewhere in the world to
help less fortunate people.
Last year, Rotary helped
fund a grant to put water fil-
ters into 14 schools in India.
Many school children in
India do not have access to
safe drinking water, and as a
result they suffer great hard-
ship and sickness.
The Rotary Club of
Florence and The Rotary
Club of Bangalore India will
bring clean water to approxi-
mately 17,000 students by
delivering water filtration
systems to 14 primary
schools in and around
Bangalore — India’s fifth-
largest city.
