Highland Park/Highwood Rotary Club making donation for shelterboxes in Turkey, Syria
HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. (CBS) – The Highland Park and Highwood Rotary Club is making a donation that will help victims affected by the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria earlier this month.

The club is also accepting additional donations to help more victims in need.
