Marissa from Shelterbox Canada on Zoom was introduced. But then there were some technical issues. We could see her but not hear her. But I was hearing her just fine through my hearing aids. What ho! Yes my naughty Android phone had scooped up the signal for personal use. We put an end to that and the show went on. Marissa was educated in Waterloo Region but now resides in Chatham. She joined Shelter box in 2024 and is manager of fundraising and development. Shelter box started as an idea in a small Rotary Club in Cornwall, England It provides Emergency Shelter and Disaster Relief...shelter materials, water filtration and small amounts of cash. 120 million people are currently 'displaced' world wide. In 2023 Shelter box helped 350,000 people. It is recognized by the UN. We can volunteer, fund raise or donate to help. At present we give $1600/ year to Shelter box. Thank you Marissa. Keith asked us to think about a club President after his year. We will also need board members. Todd told a joke that he blames on Murray P. What do you call a cow whose milk has dried up? A milk dud. But what do you call the milk Todd?.... powdered milk. Hah. |
