First Shelter Boxes arrive in Haiti (Video)

Here is a video of the Shelter Boxes being unloaded in Haiti.

Our local Interact Club has raised money to purchase 8 Shelter Boxes. The Rotary Club of Bathurst has purchased Shelter Boxes in the past, and, with communication with those on the ground in Haiti, is in the process of deciding where to best put their donations.

Below is another video from Shelter Box’s team the day after the earthquake, which gives more perspective on how these teams operate:

Shelter Boxes in Haiti

As part of the relief efforts in Haiti, Shelter Box is sending hundreds of boxes to Haiti. Every box provides shelter for a family of 10 for up to 6 months.

The Rotary Club of Bathurst has purchased, in past few years, a few of the boxes (approximately 1000$/box).

Over 12 000$ Raised in Radio Auction

Rotarians taking calls and updating the bids on the boards.

Last weekend, the Rotary Club of Bathurst helds its annual Radio Auction. Broadcast on MAX 104.9, the Radio Auction raises funds every year for various causes. This year, profits go to the Ideal Center.

Rotarians and Interact members keeping the books up to date.

Over the past two months, Rotarians canvassed local businesses for products to place into the auction. A list is published online and in the newspapers. Bidders call in to our multiple phone lines. This year, despite the economic environment, the total value of the prizes in the Auction was at its highest ever.

Our Announcers broadcasting the Auction

This year, we are proud to say that the Radio Auction has raised over 12 000$.

Thank you to all those who participated. Stay tuned for next year’s auction, which we promise will be better than ever!
