OCT 8 MEETING: STRIKE OUT POLIO

Rotary

has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever. As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, we've reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent since our first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979.

And now we are "this close" to ending polio forever. October 24 is World Polio Day, and Rotary District 5960 created the Strike Out Polio challenge to help end polio. Join us this Thursday at noon on Zoom (password 16200) to hear our own Sara Butruff talk about this important challenge.

SUN & SERVICE

This week brings us back to our roots of Service Above Self. So grab your sunscreen and sunglasses, because we're taking advantage of the last (gasp!) great weather of 2020 and combining it with roadside cleanup.

Wed., Oct. 7 (the forecast is beautiful)
4:45 to approx. 6/6:30 p.m.
Kids/spouses/partners/friends welcome!
Meet at the Farmington Maintenance Facility
Bring gloves
Safety vests & trash bags provided
