Weekly Events

Lots going on this week.  We had no meeting Tuesday because we attended the World Polio Day event with the other area clubs at the Wenatchee Valley Museum.

Carol Adamson helped members of the Wenatchee club drum up donations in front of Cherry Creek Radio Monday morning.  After being matched by Bill Gates Foundation, over $6000 was raised for polio eradication.

Former Wenatchee Rotarian, and Rotary International President (1985-86), Ed Cadman was one of the key people who got the Polio Plus program started.

 Polio information, and an old iron lug that was used to keep paralyzed polio victims breathing.

Lots of food and fun at the Museum, where 4 clubs in our area were represented.  We had a great turnout from our club.

Saturday club members cleaned up our 2 mile stretch of the highway south of Hydro Park.  The 10 members put in 40 man hours and collected 49 big bags of garbage.  Thanks to Wayne Massing, Dave Freimuth, Heath Rush (Patty's' husband), John McDarment, Dick Baker, Taro Masuda, Maggie Nelson, Kathleen McNalty, Earl Crowe, and PJ Jones.

Carol Adamson and Vice-president Lisa Parks completed the third Rotary Leadership Institute class in Yakima.

Jim Adamson spent the weekend in Edmonton, Alberta giving presentations at the District 5370 Fall Training Assembly.
