What's Happening Around the District

District 7255 is taking action in response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene. We are allocating funds from our Disaster Relief Fund to support the relief efforts organized by Rotary Districts 33 and 34, which serve the Southeastern, Mid-Atlantic, and Caribbean regions.

Recognizing that the cleanup and restoration process will be long-term, and with Hurricane Milton approaching Florida, we are committed to providing ongoing support. Following the Regional Meetings this Saturday, a Rotarian has volunteered to lead our efforts in assisting those affected. More details will be shared soon.

We are People of Action and living on an island we know first hand how catastrophic weather events like this can be. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by this disaster.

With deep sadness, we announce the passing of Debbie Moschello, a beloved member of the Seatuck Cove Rotary Club, this past weekend. Debbie was not only a dedicated nurse at Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck but also a former member of the Moriches Rotary Club.

Family and friends are invited to honor her memory at Robertaccio Funeral Home, 495 Main Street, Center Moriches, on Tuesday, October 8, and Wednesday, October 9.

The District extends heartfelt condolences to the Moschello family and the members of the Seatuck Cove Rotary Club during this difficult time.
Oscar "Jun" Patena, a dedicated member of the Queensborough West Rotary Club, has finally found a kidney donor after a five-year search! Despite enduring years of dialysis, Jun has remained active in both his club and community, embodying the true spirit of "Service Above Self." Jun is also the President-Elect for Queensborough West Rotary for 2025, and he and his wife, Dories, who is also a Rotarian, are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support they’ve already received.

With a rare blood type, finding a donor was especially challenging, but hope arrived from the Philippines. Jun and Dories are preparing to leave in late October for the transplant, which is scheduled for November. The Queensborough West Rotary Club has raised $3,000 through a recent fundraiser, but much more is needed to cover the anticipated $40,000 in medical expenses. On top of that, Dories will need to leave her job temporarily to care for Jun after the surgery, adding to the financial burden.

We are reaching out for your support to help Jun during this critical time. A GoFundMe page has been set up to help cover the costs, and any contribution, big or small, will make a difference. Please consider donating and spreading the word to support Jun and his family as they navigate this journey together.
