Bill Tobin, Rotary Relations Manager, ShelterBox USA

A member of the Rotary Club of El Dorado Hills California since 2004, Bill Tobin has served in several club and district leadership roles and is a major donor to The Rotary Foundation. He is currently the District 5180 Membership Chair and is on the Zone-27 New Club development task force.

In 2016-2017 Rotary District 5180 awarded Bill “Rotarian of the Year” for his active and dedicated service to Rotary, and for his commitment to ShelterBox. Bill began as a volunteer for ShelterBox after the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Bill has since shared the ShelterBox story to over 300 Rotary Clubs, organized fundraisers, and helped develop strategies for donor engagement and volunteer training.

For his volunteer efforts, Bill has received the United States Presidential Volunteer Service Award seven times. After a 30-year career as a nuclear power plant inspector, Bill earned a certification in Non-Profit management from the University of the Pacific and joined the staff at ShelterBox USA as Rotary Relations Manager in January 2019.

Bill is married to Sherie for 37 years, she is an Assistant Governor in District 5180. They have two sons and a daughter in law.

Finding meaning during times of profound change like experiencing Covid, cancer, or dying.

Don is a Stanford graduate, California attorney, ordained minister, cancer survivor, hospice chaplain, and published author. He speaks about finding meaning during times of profound change like experiencing Covid, cancer, or dying. He now serves as the chaplain/spiritual counselor at With Grace Hospice in San Jose.
 

He wrote his memoir about how his cure from cancer surprised his oncologists at Stanford Cancer Clinic in Matchbooks in the Tunnel: How God and Others Solved My Impossible Problem. His warm, lighthearted, and authentic style draws listeners without agenda into a comfortable consideration of questions which we often are afraid to ask.
