ICUFR doesn’t do projects the way Clubs and Districts do. Our communication abilities do and have allowed us to supply and transmit information to assist in projects:  both about using computers and the internet; and how to assist in events and catastrophes. Some of our achievements are listed here.

• Regular newsletters
