Big ShelterBox Week Wrap-up and Rotary International Project Partnership

The following note was received from Lisa Salapatek, Executive Director, ShelterBox Canada.  The first item is a wrap-up comment on Big ShelterBox Week - with several photos from activities involving P-HP members (e.g. look for John H. and Don on this link!:  http://animoto.com/play/PqZS5CMAyRGT9ZNQAuMc3g 
).  As well, there is an update on the Project Partnership mentioned at our breakfast meeting June 21st.  It outlines how Rotary clubs like ours can get involved. 

Dear ShelterBox Canada Ambassadors,

A VERY big THANK YOU to everyone that that supported Big ShelterBox Week.  We were thrilled to hear about the activities that took place across the country last week.   Every Cake Bake, Camp Out and Clear Out will make a true difference for families that are affected by disaster – thank you so much for embracing the week with such enthusiasm and creativity.

2)   Rotary International Fact Sheet – Project Partnership:

Rotary International has just published a fact sheet outlining the RI ShelterBox Project Partnership.   It provides a great overview on the partnership, as well as ideas on how Rotary Clubs and Districts can get involved, and will be very helpful in communicating the partnership to the Rotary community.  The fact sheet can be found via this link to the RI website:
