In times of disaster, solidarity among overseas territories is essential. The Rotary Club Saint-Martin Nord is organizing its "Wine & Cheese" charity evening on February 21, 2025, at Grape Wine, Hope Estate, to support the victims of Hurricane Chido in Mayotte.
Why Support Mayotte from Saint-Martin?
Like Mayotte, Saint-Martin has faced the devastation of a major hurricane, particularly Irma in 2017. At that time, we received an incredible wave of solidarity from around the world, including from other overseas territories. Today, it’s our turn to extend a helping hand.
Mayotte has been severely impacted by Hurricane Chido, leaving families homeless and creating urgent needs for food, essential supplies, and reconstruction. Though geographically distant, we share similar experiences and values. To prove that our islands are not so far apart, last October, our club welcomed a new Rotarian from Mayotte, strengthening the ties that unite us.
A Coordinated Effort
Emergency aid is one of Rotary International’s major causes. In Mayotte, two Rotary clubs and one Rotaract club, under the coordination of District 9220, are ready to distribute funds efficiently and transparently. Learn more about how Rotarians are helping Mayotte: here.
Sip & Savor for a Cause
To make this initiative even more meaningful, join us on February 21 at 7:30 PM for a refined tasting of 3 wines and 9 cheeses, complemented by a complimentary glass of champagne and live music by local artist Essynce.
- Tickets: $80, including entry into a raffle with three prizes to win.
All proceeds will be donated to Rotary-led emergency relief efforts in Mayotte.
