Karin Franklin has been the Iowa MOST supply
master for several years and she has also filled the position of
record-keeper. This year Karin will not
accompany the team to Quetzaltenango and she will be sorely missed, but her
mark will be all over the mission. Since
the fall, Karin has played an integral part behind the scenes doing the jobs
she has always performed of assembling supplies in the months prior to the
trip, packing them and shipping them to Guatemala. She has gathered them from the stores of
FAMSCO, another Rotary entity which accepts donated used and overstocked
medical supplies for reuse, and she has purchased the items not found in those
stores. She has inventoried and divided
the items by area of use (surgery, anesthesia, recovery, etc.) and packed
everything into gaylord boxes for shipping.
Karin has met with and instructed the team members concerning the need for careful
inventory of supplies that at the end of the week will be left behind for the
next mission in Quetzaltenango and has also held a tutorial on the detailed
record keeping process for the next record keepers. Karin has been in contact with the
Guatemalan Rotarians to provide them with a list of drugs and medicines they
will procure for Iowa MOST in country.
Many hours and much work. We are
grateful for Karin’s commitment to Iowa MOST.
Your presence will be missed this year, Karin, but the results of your
dedicated work will be with us!
