The Galena Noon Rotary Club successfully developed the first Rotary Satellite Club in District 6420.

 

All clubs in the district will be receiving correspondence shortly regarding the traditional program of assisting new clubs with startup funds to help purchase supplies and equipment.

In June 2015, the Rochelle Township High School Interact Club raised $1,000 to purchase a ShelterBox through ShelterBox.org in the hopes of helping a family survive somewhere in the world.

On January 6, 2016, the ShelterBox was deployed to help a family in Korea affected by devastating flooding.

On June 22 the area was finally returned to a livable state.

 

According to Interact Advisor Alison Mercer-Curtis, she received confirmation that the ShelterBox provided by the Interact Club provided shelter and food for a family for six months.

 

ShelterBox provides emergency shelter and vital supplies to support communities around the world overwhelmed by disaster and humanitarian crisis. Since ShelterBox was founded, donors like the Interact Club have responded to over 240 disasters and humanitarian crises in more than 90 different countries and provided emergency aid for over 1 million people. 

 
ShelterBox aid is tailored to each disaster but typically includes a disaster relief tent for a family; thermal blankets and groundsheets, water storage and purification equipment, solar lamps, cooking utensils, a basic tool kit, mosquito nets and children’s activity pack.
