From Alyssa Stinson from Great Oak’s Interact Club.

"My first grade teacher started this project as a way to commemorate her aunt, who’s life ministry was making and giving blankets away to those in need, after she passed away.  She started the project with just the 20 students in her classroom and in the last 8 years the project has grown from those 20 students to over 3000 students participating in the event every year around Valentine’s Day…hence the name, Blankets of Love.  :) 
 
The reason I decided to start this project at my school was because:
-I felt that I should give back to the hospital that I had my surgery at (CHSD) on my elbow because they were so kind and supportive.
-I saw a playroom for the cancer patients at the children’s hospital and I immediately thought of how fortunate I am to just have been there for a small surgery.
-I wanted a way to make an impact in the community, no matter how big or small…
 
I brought the ideas of this project to Carly Santiago, (club president), and she thought it was a great idea and wanted me to present the idea to the Rotary Club even before we had club meetings and the reaction was phenomenal.  From then on, I took this project under my wing and have organized the project from day one.  I started out knowing that this project was going to take loads of work and effort in order for it to be successful, and I have put in numerous hours to this project to make sure that I will be able to get the best / biggest impact possible.

ROTARY CLUB OF TEMECULA RAISES $6000 TO SEND SHELTER BOXES TO HAITI EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS Print E-mail
Friday, 22 January 2010 11:00
 (Temecula, CA: Jan 2010) The Rotary Club of Temecula opened their hearts and wallets this week to help the victims of the Haiti Earthquake. When International Services Director, Kent Demuth, presented the ShelterBox program to the club he was hoping to raise $1000 to send one ShelterBox to Haiti but the outpouring of support from the members raised over $6000! This will enable the Rotary Shelter Boxes in HaitiClub of Temecula to send 6 ShelterBoxes to Haiti and will give over 60 earthquake victims the tents and supplies necessary to survive for 30 days.
 
“When I was made aware of the Haiti Earthquake Relief effort that was put into action by Rotary International,” explained International Service Director Kent Demuth “I knew that our club would want to be a part of it. I was pleased by the excitement and level of support that our members committed to. It truly shows that our club is dedicated to service above self at home and around the world.” A ShelterBox response team of two U.S. Rotarians and one from the United Kingdom has already mobilized to deliver over 500 containers of supplies to the affected areas. Also, more than 100 Aquaboxes are being delivered to Haiti to provide safe water. Over 1000 Shelter Boxes are being delivered and set up. The number is expected to be much greater based on current level of donations from the international Rotarian community, their friends and families.
 
“I am so proud to be a Rotarian,” stated Jeanne McClellan, President of the Rotary Club of Temecula “Our club raised over $6000 in less than 15 minutes. What a testament of the power of Rotary and the generous and caring members that we have. I would like to thank Kent for bringing this project to our club and to Jon Atwood and all of the other members who opened their hearts and wallets to enable our club to send these critical supplies.”
 
Since its inception in 2000, ShelterBox has provided shelter and dignity following over 100 disasters in more than 60 countries, bringing the organization to the forefront of international disaster relief.  ShelterBox instantly responds to earthquake, volcano, flood, hurricane, cyclone, tsunami or conflict by delivering boxes of aid. In many cases “ShelterBoxes” have made the difference between life and death. 
 
Each “ShelterBox” supplies an extended family of up to 10 people 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. Highly trained ShelterBox Response Teams distribute boxes on the ground, working closely with local organizations, international aid agencies and Rotary clubs worldwide.

Rotary Avenues of Service

Rotary’s commitment to Service Above Self is channeled through four Avenues of Service, which form the foundation of Rotary.

Club Service

Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the smooth functioning of Rotary clubs.

Vocational Service

Vocational Service involves club members serving others through their professions and aspiring to high ethical standards. Rotarians, as business leaders, share skills and expertise through their vocations, and they inspire others in the process.

Community Service

Community Service is the opportunity Rotary clubs have to implement club projects and activities that improve life in the local community.

International Service

International Service encompasses efforts to expand Rotary’s humanitarian reach around the world and to promote world understanding and peace. It includes everything from contributing to PolioPlus to helping Rotary Youth Exchange students adjust to their host countries.
