The program at this week's meeting will be about ShelterBox--a Rotarian inspired program to provide temporary, emergency shelters in areas where natural disasters have occurred. ShelterBox is a global organization made up of people who believe in shelter as a basic human right - that shelter from the chaos disaster and conflict is vital. Rotarian Tricia Sharpe is a local ShelterBox representative.
