President Jim Madder welcomed 32 members. Thank you Zoom hosts Warren Philp and Jim Madder.
Jaro Kotalik gave an excellent overview of ShelterBox Canada. Long associated with Rotary, ShelterBox puts large kits together with tools and materials to build urgently needed shelter in disaster areas such as Haiti today. Maria Hudolin and Jackie Dojack got our club involved in this cause started by a U.K. Rotary Club. We have a ShelterBox to promote, demonstrate and educate, and send money. The Club thanks Jaro for his dedication to RI projects and clear explanations for Members.
ShelterBox Canada helped 139,000 people in 17 countries in 2019-20. There are 15 affiliate ShelterBox charities world-wide. Learn more and donate through the link - you can recognize the PAR Club in your donation:
