The clinic is put to work Mar 2, 2005
It still needs to be finished, but the walls are up, the rooms are partitioned and the roof is on. This allowed us to begin seeing patients.

The TBM Rotary Club Blood Drive - September 6, 8 & 10, 2005 A Great Success
Blood Drive Chair, Jan Sinclair reports that donor levels were double normal levels on the days of our blood drive. Congratulations to all who gave and who encouraged others to give.
President Peter dinged the bell promptly at 12:20 PM and Joe Carroll gave us a thought for the day. "Remember the suffering" Rotary is truly a reflection of that statement.

Fines and Happy Dollars:
Gretchen Marks was happy for the 2 visitors she had donate blood and her own appointment is tomorrow.
Bob Was gave up some cash for Harry Martin.
Linda Parker gave $100 towards the Katrina relief fund and her mom donated $300.
Gary Sinclair had a $50 donation for the hurricane relief effort. He also was happy about giving blood even though he leaked all over the place. Seems he didn't clot too well and had to be given a shirt to wear home. Gary will do anything for a free gift.
Joanne and Paul Travers gave $250 to the Red Cross directly.
Peter McAllister's son is back at it, this time its soccer. Their U13 club ended up playing in a U14 tournament and made it to the final game. Great job! Peter was also sad as Gilligan died. Where is Maryanne anyway?

Program:
Jack Christy from Amesbury spoke to us today about Amesbury for Africa. Here's the web site intro, "In 1987, Dr. S. Mark Bean , with the help of Sister Cities International, joined Amesbury, Massachusetts with Esabalu, a village with a population of 5,000 in Western Kenya. The organization that Dr. Bean founded, Amesbury for Africa, has helped make possible, working closely with the Esabalu Self Help Group, a wide range of positive changes in the lives of the villagers in Esabalu, raising the standard of living or improving the quality of life for many, and empowering many more with the idea that change is possible. At the same time, the lives of many in Amesbury have been transformed by their experiences working with and getting to know the people of Esabalu."
District 7930 has chosen for their centennial project to help this region with delivering water resources to the people. RI has provided grants of $300,000 to build three wells to service the village of more than 12,500 residents. A real neat aspect of the program is that the group of volunteers includes Interactors from the Amesbury High School Club.
