Good Morning Pat,

I am reaching out to you today to share a special event/fundraising opportunity for your Rotary Club with the Boston Red Sox. On September 4th and 17th The Boston Red Sox are hosting the first ever Rotary Club Nights at Fenway Park. This night is filled with fun and excitement as you watch the Red Sox take the field at a discounted group rate.

We have limited seating availability and will sell out for this special night. Please reach out to me so your Rotary Club can join the Rotary Clubs of New England on this special night.

Thanks and Go Sox! Terry W. MacDonald, Rotary District 7810

Rotary Supports Internationally – Syrian Refugee Crisis

This message comes from ShelterBox Canada:

There are now over 1.6 million refugees, three quarters of them being women and children, seeking safety and shelter in foreign countries. This places unprecedented strain on communities, infrastructure and services in host countries.

For the past 18 months ShelterBox has been helping Syrian families in need throughout Syria, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon. The vast majority of fleeing families arrive with little more than the clothes on their backs.

The ShelterBox mission is to provide humanitarian aid in the form of equipment and materials that bring shelter, warmth and dignity to families made homeless by natural and other disasters like the Syrian refugee crisis.

By supporting ShelterBox, you provide more than shelter, warmth and dignity. You provide protection, comfort and a sense of normalcy to those who would otherwise be living in fear.

The Bathurst Rotary Club has supported ShelterBox initiatives in the past, and has purchased numerous ShelterBoxes.
