Welcome to the District 7890 Website !
ShelterBox reached 200,000 people in 2020, bringing the total served since our founding twenty years ago to over 1.7 million people sheltered. We could not have reached them without the club and district support like yours. Your sustained help enables up to be better prepared to respond quickly and efficiently to reach families when disaster or conflict damages or destroys their home. Here is a link to our 2020 Year in Review https://www.shelterboxusa.org/
District 7890 is being recognized for your help over our first 20 years as being one of the Top 20 all-time Rotary District supporters of ShelterBox USA! This is a cumulative total from clubs and other district giving. Your certificate of appreciation is attached.
If you did not get a chance to attend our virtual event “An Evening to Experience ShelterBox” you can watch it here. The event includes reports from around the world and stories from those we serve. www.shelterboxusa.org/virtual
On behalf of ShelterBox President Kerri Murray, our Board of Directors, staff, volunteers, and especially the families we’ve helped, thank you!

Rotary Opens Opportunities
RI President-elect Holger Knaack’s theme for 2020-21, Rotary Opens Opportunities, asks Rotarians to create opportunities that strengthen their leadership, help put service ideas into action, and improve the lives of those in need.
Statement from Rotary International
At Rotary, we have no tolerance for racism. Promoting respect, celebrating diversity, demanding ethical leadership, and working tirelessly to advance peace are central tenets of our work.
We have more work to do to create more just, open and welcoming communities for all people.
We know there are no easy fixes and that challenging conversations and work lie before all of us. Rotary’s strength has long been our ability and commitment to bringing people together. We will tap into that strength now as we stand with those who are working for peace and justice.
Rotary will do our part to listen, learn and take action to ensure that we continue to contribute to making positive change.
Rotary International is closely monitoring the pandemic of COVID-19, the illness caused by the novel coronavirus, and continuously assessing the potential impact on Rotary operations, events, and members.
Your health and safety are always our top priorities.
In the near term, Rotary International recommends that districts and Rotary and Rotaract clubs meet virtually, cancel, or postpone meetings and events following the advice of national and local health officials.
Rotary encourages members and their families to take precautions to protect themselves from contracting the virus by: washing your hands often and thoroughly, putting distance between yourself and others if COVID-19 is spreading in your community, and staying home if you are sick.

Please see the attached YouTube links for two television programs that are ready for distribution. Both programs should be of interest to the general public.
The program on THE HOPE INITIATIVE should be of particular interest to the Law Enforcement, Emergency Responders, and those working in addiction treatment.
The program on the Brain and Addiction will be of value to youth, educators, social workers, and those parents and professionals who are working to prevent addiction or respond positively to those who are already suffering from the disease of addiction.
Please feel free to share these video with your local public access television stations and anyone in your community who is concerned with the Opioid Crisis As a Rotary project, these programs are being offered to the public at no cost.
