What’s New at ShelterBox

Dave, pictured with Keri Murray, President of ShelterBox USA, has been an ambassador for ShelterBox USA for a year and a half ans is the only one in our district. My interest in sheltering springs from 27 years as a volunteer for the Red Cross, primarily in what they call mass care (sheltering, feeding, and distribution of emergency supplies). I still do this and have deployed twice this year on disaster relief. I have been in Rotary for a year and a half and I am secretary and president-elect of my Reno Sunrise Club. In my spare (HAH!) time, I am an ambassador for the Institute of Peace and Economics, volunteer locally on mobile medical equipment distributions for CAREChest, and do significant work with Community Health Alliance and other local community groups. I worked with the Nevada City club members this year in Los Barriles.  Volunteering is what I do now.

Dave will speak about ShelterBox, a global humanitarian organization that provides the most critical supplies to people displaced by disaster or conflict. He’ll talk about current ShelterBox responses across the globe,  including in the US. And he’ll talk about what makes ShelterBox different and it’s special connection to Rotary.
