Lewiston-Auburn Rotary Club Purchases a Shelter Box!

During our meeting on August 12, Rotarian Peter Kowalski spoke about the Shelter Box program which started as a Centennial Project by a Rotary Club in England and has been embraced by the entire Rotary community.

President Jen Hogan has pledged $500 towards the $1000 purchase price of a Shelter Box.  When Peter asked if anyone in our audience could match the club’s $500, visiting guest and former Rotarian Mike Bilodeau of Bilodeau Insurance came forward and presented a check to Peter for the $500 match!

Rotarian Claire Veilleux also pledged $25 and challenged all other members to match her donation.  Several other Rotarians have committed to a minimum of $25.  There is a Shelter Box donation box which will be at all our meetings for the month of August.  Rotarians are urged to drop off their donations here in support of our August Community Service Project.

Thank you to Peter Kowalski for bringing Shelter Box to our attention and to Mike Bilodeau and Bilodeau Insurance for their generous gift.  Thank you to all others who are helping to fund all or a part of a second Shelter Box.
