MESA – Medical Equipment and Supplies Abroad is a 501(c)3 organization formed in 1981 by the Rotary Clubs of Ohio District 6600.  North Coast has been supporting MESA with used but usable medical supplies, clothing, educational resources and more donated by our community members, donors from Community Resource Services, and local businesses and stored in a trailer made available by Rotarian Doug Maurer.  Sprenger Healthcare Towne Center also collected equipment and supplies, stored them locally and made them available for a collection day in August. At MESA’s warehouse in Fostoria, Ohio, donations are sorted, stored and subsequently into a shipping container destined for a port of a local rotary club for distribution. This year over 30 containers have been shipped including 12 to Ukraine.

Rotarians also provide financial support and participate in MESA’s annual bike ride fundraiser. This year cyclists rode through our service areas and Tri-C Westshore generously hosted North Coast Rotarians and the MESA bike riders for lunch.  

North Coast Rotary will be continuing to collect used but usable medical supplies for MESA.

A Rejuvenated Story Book Trail in Avon Lake

/ jinnyn

The eight-year-old book displays were deteriorating at the Avon Lake Public Library Story Book Trail and North Coast Rotary could help with funding and some volunteer labor to replace and upgrade them.  The project is in line with Rotary’s commitment to our communities, to literacy and health.  

Using grant monies from North Coast Rotary Foundation and Rotary District 6600 Foundation, ALPL was able to procure larger more durable storybook frames.  

In a letter to North Coast Rotary, ALPL Director William Rutger wrote, “The updated pedestal frames have been a much-needed addition to the Trail, and we are incredibly thankful for your partnership in making this possible.”
