 Check out this Rotary club golf scramble fundraising event on Friday, July 8 in Kearney -  http://www.clubrunner.ca/dprg/dxhome/dxstoriestab/_storyitem.aspx?did=5630&index=12029&linkcat=4&tail=0&dir=f

Kearney Dawn Rotary sends greetings and an opportunity for volunteers to assist the tornado survivors through an organization called Samaritan's Purse. In this twister much of the city's south side was leveled, with churches, schools, businesses and homes reduced to ruins. Samaritan's Purse will help storm victims salvage valuable possessions, remove fallen trees and debris, and make emergency repairs on storm-damaged homes. If you or others would like to volunteer, go to this organization's website at www.samaritanspurse.org.
