Ross Spencer visits from Shelterbox

President Shirlanne Lemm and Rotarian Bill Marston present Ross Spencer from ShelterBox with a coffee mug and a donation for a ShelterBox.  Ross stopped by to fill the club in on the current disasters around the world that ShelterBox is helping .  ShelterBox is a wonderful organization that sends a box filled with a tent, blanket, stove, pots, dishes, water filtration as well many other necessities including a childrens activity kit.  Elk Grove Rotary Club has already donated 4 boxes this year which are still waiting to be deployed.  The club has also donated box #5144 and #5145 which were sent to Hargeisa Somaliland in 2008.  As well as box #9192 and #9193 which were sent to Haiti in 2010.  In 2011 the club sponsored box #16,299 which was sent to Kenya.  In total the club has sponsored eight boxes since getting involved with this incredible organization in 2008.  For more information or to track where our next boxes will be sent visit www.shelterboxusa.org
