We proudly announce that construction is underway on the new Miracle League baseball field for handicapped children. The field, located in Mundy Township (see map) was financed through the efforts of the Miracle League of Greater Flint and a group of area Rotary Clubs, lead by Genesee Valley with contributions from the Rotary Club of Flint, the Fenton Rotary Club, the Rotary Club of Flushing, the Greater Flint Sunrise Rotary Club, the Grand Blanc Rotary Club and a generous contribution from a Rotary Foundation District Grant.

 

The Miracle League of Greater Flint is a non-profit volunteer organization associated with over 300 other fields in US, Canada, Puerto Rico and Mexico. Our field, when completed this summer, serve more than 10,000 children with disabilities and give them the opportunity to participate in sport like any other child can do.

Shelter Box is an international effort started by a Rotary club in Cornwall, England which sends storage boxes containing a tent and essential materials to disaster sites throughout the world. This is one of the many international and local humanitarian projects sponsored by our club.

 

Here's what's in one box, shelter, lighting, cooking and first aid materials to support a family until permanent housing can be provided.For more information on ShelterBox, including how it is supporting the relief effort in Gaza:
