In case you were out last week, we had Michael Grant of Shelterbox USA as our program. Shelterbox is a Rotary International partner program that offers temporary shelter for people displaced by natural or man made disasters. Their boxes are $1,000 each and include tent, tools, lighting, rope, tarp, stove, cooking equipment; everything a family needs to survive. They have been in the Caribbean since Harvey, Irma and Maria; they are in Somalia and Syria on a long term basis. The organization is primarily volunteer driven, with 97% of donations going directly to the provisions. If you have missed the presentation, I encourage you to look at their website at: https://www.shelterboxusa.org/ Hopefully, we can partner by providing funds to assist in their work.
Last week we also hosted Students of the Month from Centennial High School with their principal, Alicia Maphies. As always, it was encouraging to hear from 2 of the outstanding students in Frisco ISD.
