POLIO ERADICATION – We are asking you to donate $32 during the month your birthday is recognized.  The District has set $32 per person as a giving goal for PolioPlus.  Your donation will be given to The Rotary Foundation in your name for PolioPlus.  Rotary has led the private sector in the global effort to rid the world of polio for over 30 years. The PolioPlus program helps Rotary fund operational costs, such as transportation, vaccine delivery, social mobilization, and training of health workers, and support surveillance activities.  Your donation can help "End Polio Now."

 
 
 

We would like you to schedule a 2-3 minute vocational talk.  Share with members information about your profession, yourself and your family.  Remember, we want to hear from our new members and our new members would like to learn more about the professions of their fellow Rotarians so please schedule a vocational talk.  Contact Vickie Backman to schedule a date for your talk or sign-up at a noon Rotary meeting.

Schedule:

Please keep Terri Fitzgerald in your thoughts as we recently learned that she is in treatment for cancer.

Our sympathy to Gretchen Radler and family for the recent loss of her father-in-law.
