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."

Gretchen Radler, Vocational Service Committee Chair, will be contacting members to schedule a vocational talk.  We would like to schedule two vocational talks each month.  Your talk should be 2-3 minutes in length and will give you an opportunity to share information about your profession, yourself and your family.  Please say yes when asked to schedule your vocational talk.  We look forward to learning more about our fellow Rotarians.
