President’s Report Hopefully you all enjoyed last weeks relaxed
fellowship evening with a bonus “early mark” Thanks to all who
volunteered time for Saturday’s Bunnings, and have also volunteered
for the upcoming Norman Lindsay Parking and the big event -
Antiques, Vintage & Collectables Fair. Well done to Dee &
Robyn, ably coached by Valda, for pulling it all together and to
Bill for organising the Raffle. I’m sure it will be as big as a
success as past fairs. Our new Double Gazebo is on its way and will
debut at the Careflight Event in late June. Our trailer also has a
new addition in the form of an electric jockey wheel which will
make it much easier & safer to manoeuvre. Thanks to Bill &
Adam for the research and fitting.
Happy May Birthday

SHELTERBOX NOMINATED FOR NOBEL PEACE PRIZE
I am honoured to advise you ShelterBox has been nominated for the
2018 Nobel Peace Prize, the winner to be announced in October.
Whatever the result, this is an amazing nomination and we are truly
honoured. The nomination reflects the incredible work done by the
ShelterBox staff and volunteers around the world, and to those who
have supported us, especially the many Rotary Clubs and Rotarians.
The nomination is also an implicit recognition of the partnership
between ShelterBox and Rotary International. Two great
organisations combining their efforts to provide disaster aid
wherever it may be required across our world. I am reminded that
last year we helped 32,000 households, or 160,000 people, who had
lost everything through conflict or natural disaster. We responded
to world events 24 times in the year and deployed aid to 20
different countries. Rotary groups around the world helped us
provide vulnerable people with emergency shelter and aid in almost
all of the countries we have worked in affected by natural
disaster. In 2017, we also surpassed the highest number of days
ever deployed in one year. This includes 84 ShelterBox Response
Team volunteers who deployed for a total of 1,530 days. That’s an
average volunteer deployment of 18 days each. I never underestimate
the impact of the support of Rotary International, Rotary Clubs and
individual Rotarian has to ShelterBox in achieving our goal of no
family without shelter. As we continue to pursue our goal, we thank
each and every one of you for the support given, and make an
impassioned plea for that support to continue into the future. As
individual organisations we can make a difference in the world; as
a partnership we can do even more. Thank you.
