Torrington Rotary hopes to send 'Shelter Box' to Haiti

When the Torrington Rotary Club gathers for its weekly lunch meeting tomorrow, it will be collecting money from members with the hope of raising at least $1,000 for the purchase of a "Shelter Box" that will be sent to Haiti.
Shelter Boxes include a heavy-duty 10-person tent, sleeping mats, sleeping bags, thermal blankets, water purification tablets, water carriers, a shovel, rope, mosquito netting, ponchos, tools, a cooking stove and even a children's activity set.
Any money raised above the amount that covers the Shelter Box will be donated to a hospital that Rotary International operates in Haiti.
