Daybreak Rotary presents wheelchair to Campbell River resident

Campbell River Daybreak Rotarians Hansi Zihlman, Jurgen Kettler and Tom Robinson were on hand to present a wheelchair to Frances Powers of Campbell River. Wheelchair Foundation Canada was contacted by Mrs. Powers daughter Cathy Merrill and as a result Hansi Zihlman of the Campbell River Daybreak Rotary Club was able to provide one for her. This is the first time Rotary was able to provide a wheelchair for a Campbell River resident; so this was a great day and the wheelchair was a perfect fit!!
Hansi is the Chair for the Wheelchair Committee and has confirmed the next wheelchair fundraiser; Dancing and Tapas III which will be April 16th, 2011 at the North Island College. To date Campbell River Daybreak Rotary along with Campbell River Rotary has fundraised for 1160 wheelchairs that were sent to Arequipa Peru and Argentina which will be delivered January 2011.
