After Hurricane Katrina

Life after any disaster is different for everyone.

Some people never return to the site of the event, some cannot leave, some have physical and mental problems which may continue the rest of the days, and some rebuild their lives and careers.

Hans Christian Anderson wrote a story about the mythical bird, The Phoenix in the 19th century. The Phoenix symbolizes rebirth and was the inspiration for members of the The Pass Christian Rotary Club, who chose this web site's name, "Pass Christian Rises". They also have another theme, "The Little Club that Can". How fitting both of these phrases that fit the work of the Pass Christian Rotarians and especially D.H. Short II, M.D. DH has made this his personal crusade to see a rebirth in his community that covers many avenue of life. From needy people, to education--libraries and literacy, municipal equipment to serve the public better, a restroom in the park and rebuilding destroyed sewage lines that will no longer pollute the potable water and environment, equipment for the new police station, a playground for handicapped children and a senior wellness center, and a community center that will make the word "community" again come to The Pass.

All of these and more events from other groups are all part of post Katrina. The following pages will provide you with more information.
