ROTARY AND POLIO PLUS

ROTARY’S POLIO ERADICATION GOAL GETS A BOOST & A CHALLENGE!

Rotary and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced on 22 January that their long-term fundraising partnership, which generates up to $150 million annually for polio eradication, will continue for an additional 3 years. By this $2 to $1 match, every Dollar donated by the Members and Clubs of District 5710 equals the cost of providing enough vaccine that will guarantee that one more child will be forever protected from the threat of Polio.

We have five months to go, and want to exceed the minimum recommended per-club contribution. Help meet the Challenge of reaching this important milestone! Write out a check at the front desk, or email club bookkeeper Pam Holmes at pam@adminpam.com and ask her to bill you for a bit extra.

SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES

TAKE A LOAD OF BOOKS TO ABILENE, AND SEE THE EISENHOWER MUSEUM TOO!

On Monday, March 2, our Club, in collaboration with the Abilene Rotary Club, will be delivering books for distribution to Abilene schools and young visitors to the Eisenhower Museum. A small ceremony will occur early that Monday at the Museum to publicize the donations. Members interested in going please let Jeff Ellis (jeffellis153@gmail.com) know of your intention if you want to coordinate rides. Those going will meet in the Doubletree parking lot (front of hotel, south lot nearest College Blvd) at 6:45 AM on Monday, March 2. So far Vern and Brenda Ott, Bruce and Lois Robb, Donna Lauffer, and Will Gladhart have indicated they will join Carol Lynne and me for the trip.
Thanks, Jeff Ellis
