ShelterBox Fundraising Gala

The Rotary Club of Tsawwassen and Point Roberts, Ladner and Richmond Sunrise, in partnership with Shelter Box Canada and District 5040, are hosting a fundraising event on September 11, 2008 at Riverside Banquet Hall in Richmond. This event will raise funds for Shelterbox to aid China, Burma, war torn Africa and the countless other people who are left displaced and without shelter due to natural disasters and civil strife. Rotary's commitment to Shelterbox makes a tangible difference, it provides shelter and tools, it gives hope, it shows the less fortunate that others do care. Tom Henderson, the founder of Shelter Box worldwide, is visiting Canada from the U.K. and will be the Keynote speaker at this fundraising event. We ask all Rotarians and friends to attend. Tom is an exciting speaker who will provide a detailed look at the work that Rotarians are accomplishing through the Shelterbox program. The evening will include entertainment and food from some of the lower mainlands diverse communities. There will be a live auction and we also plan to have other interesting guest speakers. Come and share in Rotary fellowship while supporting a great cause. * Cost: $80 per person ($50 tax deductible receipt)or $800 per table.
