funds to purchase Shelter Boxes. The international relief
agency Feed the Children, has called the Shelter Box the best

Rotary’s Haitian Earthquake Relief Initiative is Joined by Local Schools
We have been gratified by the outpouring of support for our Haitian Earthquake Relief Initiative. We have been joined by Lake Forest High School, District #65, District #67 and Lake Forest Academy to purchase Shelter Boxes for the people of Haiti. On Saturday, January 30th, the students will be out in our community collecting for this fundraising effort. CROYA is also participating by holding a Haitian Hustle dance in support of this initiative.
Our effort has gone national, as well. We have partnered with the Mountain Empire Rotary Club in Sonoita, Arizona. Our partnership allows us to maximize our giving by qualifying for additional matching grants available from Rotary International.
It is gratifying to see the outpouring of support from our community partners and other Rotarians. This shows the true spirit and power of people joining together to help those in need.
