The guest speaker Lake Murray-Irmo Rotary Club meeting for the October 27, 2010 was Lisa Lee Smith, the Midlands Representative for ShelterBox. Since its inception in 2000, ShelterBox has firmly established itself at the forefront of international disaster relief, providing emergency shelter for the people who need it most on every continent. ShelterBox instantly responds to earthquake, volcano, flood, hurricane, cyclone, tsunami or conflict by delivering boxes of aid. Highly trained ShelterBox Response Teams distribute boxes on the ground, working closely with local organizations, international aid agencies and Rotary clubs worldwide. Each box supplies an extended family with a tent and lifesaving equipment to use while they are displaced or homeless. The contents are tailored depending on the nature and location of the disaster, with great care taken sourcing every item to ensure it is robust enough to be of lasting value.

The rotary club or Lake Murray-Irmo is a service organization that happens to meet on Wednesday mornings! Sure, breakfast is important, but that isn't what we're about . We do good things for great people as we try to make the central Midlands of South Carolina a better place while also fulfilling our commitment to the goals of our great Rotary district and Rotary International. Consider us a dedicated cog in the great Rotary wheel! Please visit when you can...we'd love to see your smiling face at 7:30 AM on a Wednesday.
