On behalf of all of the Rotarians of Rotary District 5100, we would like to express our sincere appreciation of the outpouring of support we have received, both locally and internationally, concerning the shooting incident in Portland on January 24, 2009. The incident resulted in the death of two exchange students in our program and the injury of several others. Much of the correspondence has indicated a desire to provide assistance. District 5100 has established a fund to assist with medical, travel, and memorial/transportation expenses incurred by the victims, their families, and the host families. Should there be any funds remaining after paying these expenses, the remaining funds will continue as the Martha (Tika) Paz De Noboa Memorial Scholarship Fund. Contributions can be sent to the following address, or follow the link for online donations:
