Newport Rotary welcomed the Carteret Warriors for Recovery (CW4R) as their program guests during the club's regular meeting on May 13, 2019 at the Newport Rotary Building. Marian Tucker and Brenda Rocci of the CW4R detailed the origins and purpose of the organization and the ways that Rotarians could continue to assist them.
CW4R's efforts arose in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence's devastation to Carteret County in September 2018. They initially came together as volunteers to network the influx of all types of recovery supplies to persons in need. They continue now, seven months after the storm, with post-storm recovery efforts for families, mainly in the areas of replacement housewares and furniture needs from their donated warehouse space in Morehead City. Visit their website www.cw4r.org to donate or volunteer.
Newport Rotary's Rick Smith introduced the pair and lauded their efforts and effectiveness in meeting the needs of those impacted by the storm.
