About the Presentation: Crutches 4 Africa is a Rotary District 5960 grant project to collect, store, and distribute mobility devices (e.g., crutches, wheelchairs, walkers, etc.) to enable people in Africa who cannot afford a device to live a fuller life. Lonny Stormo of Stillwater Sunrise Rotary described the project, and then we asked questions and discussed how our club might participate in this project. Several good ideas were generated, and there was a positive reaction to the idea. This project is unusual in that there is minimal financial commitment from the club while providing a lot of benefit to people in need. The board will review the Stillwater Sunrise proposal at the November board meeting. Member comments are encouraged. Click READ MORE to read about the speaker.
