GOOD NEIGHBORS

The Rotary Club of Hamburg actively supported the Rotary District 7090’s Pedal for Polio event on October 24 that united bicyclists on both sides of the Niagara River along the US-Canadian border in Western New York and Southern Ontario. The Electric Tower in downtown Buffalo was also lit in the blue and gold Rotary colors to honor the occasion. Members of the Rotary Club of Hamburg sponsored bicyclist Tom Nemmer, a neighbor of Rotarians Barb and Dale Stanley. He and his team rode a total of 65.6 miles as part of the fundraising effort that also marked World Polio Day. The Hamburg Rotarians raised a total of $1,100 for the effort.
