Thursday, Oct. 24, is World Polio Awareness Day. Carol Adamson reminded us of the area wide potluck at the Senior Activity Center on Maple St., 6:00 pm to 9 pm. $5/person, or $15/family. This is a good time to socialize with fellow Rotarians from our club, and the other clubs in town. A member of a local Rotary club will match up to $26,000 raised in our district. The Gates Foundation will match that total 2 to 1, giving a potential gift of $156,000 to The Rotary Foundation's polio eradication program. That will translate to thousands of kids who can be immunized around the world. Let's see if we can get at least 20 members plus family, to this event. Since it is a potluck dinner, A-H bring a main dish, I-P bring a side dish and Q-Z bring a salad. Bring your own beverages. Wine/beer are okay.
Thursday, Oct. 24, is World Polio Awareness Day. Pete Van Well, from the Wenatchee Rotary Club, asked for club members to join his club in front of KPQ Radio on North Wenatchee Avenue to collect donations for the End Polio Now campaign. 7 am to Noon. Please plan to attend, even for a short time.
