Rotary Sandy Relief
Peter Wells is the 7490 Disaster Chair. I do not think when he took the job on he expected he would be organizing for his own area. Attached are a bunch of pictures from Sunday. In a Vacant Store on Rt 17 in Paramus Peter gathered supplies for Sandy relief. He filled and emptied the building twice. Since the storm they loaded over 50 trucks, vans, Pick Ups, SUV's, Etc . Yesterday I was lucky to say I have a van and can drive somewhere with something. I assisted a large group of people do a crazy but organized loading of 24 vehicles. The vehicles delivered supplies up and down the NJ coast. We loaded generators, heaters, cleaning supplies, food, water, blankets, clothing (new & used) Winter coats. Dippers, car seats, high chairs, school supplies and more.
You will see a picture (2nd to last picture) of Peter (with his back to you) in the Red Sweatshirt with a mostly empty building. That entire area was full 2 hours earlier. The boxes and bags on the left went into my van and I delivered them to Brick NJ. All Blankets. The Stack of 7 plus others are boxes of Blankets from Chicago O'Hare Rotary. There is one picture of me in the Box Truck we loaded. That was going with a convoy to the beach area. We packed more in it after that picture was taken. Anything that was there after I left was being picked up by Salvation Army and others. I hear we supplied them about 60,000 lbs in cloths. Bonnie Sirower, Bill Rupp, Suraj P. Bhatia and many others was there |
