The New Bremen New-Knoxville Rotary Club recently donated $250.00 to the Rotary District 6600 Lima Presidents Council ShelterBox project.  According to the ShelterBox USA website, “ShelterBox is the premier international aid organization that provides emergency shelter and life-saving equipment following disasters such as earthquake, volcano, flood, hurricane, cyclone, tsunami or conflict.”  Rotary District 6600 Assistant District Governor Gary Newton is leading the project, and accepted the donation on behalf of the project.

 The Rotary Clubs within the Lima Presidents Council are working together on a matching grant that will purchase three or more shelter boxes for international families to use in the event of a natural disaster.  For more information on shelter boxes please visit http://shelterboxusa.org/about.php?page=16
