 We made it! Our clubs met the “Will your Rotary Club step up to the challenge?”Just like the eradication of polio we were so close to completing the challenge by our passionate Polio Plus supporter Thie Convery.....drum roll please. Of course, once again the clubs of D7090 stepped up and we made it two weeks plus in advance of the December 15 deadline. Thank you again to Thie for challenging all clubs to contribute $1500 USD to the Polio Plus. Thie will be matching the first 25 clubs and together with Gates Foundation, you can see your club's $1500 become $9000 for the eradication of Polio. Thank you to the 25 clubs whose money has arrived in time at the Rotary Foundation!!!! Together with the Pedal for Polio ride/walk/etc. on Polio Day October 24th, Rotary clubs in District 7090 have achieved incredible $$$$$ and excellent recognition for the work of Rotary in eliminating Polio. Thank you Rotarians for promoting this effort to your friends and community.  Now - a word about the ANNUAL FUND. Many of you are already aware of and give generously to the Annual Fund. Some give as part of their annual Every Rotarian Every Year gift and are working toward a Paul Harris Fellow (or 2,3,4,5 or 6). This is a reminder that the Annual Fund is the key to our DDF District Designated Funds. 50% of everything donated to the Annual Fund comes back to the District every 3 years so that we can use it on District Grants (club community and global grants), for Vocational Training Teams, and for Scholarships. So don't forget to log in to https://my.rotary.org/en/donate and make your annual tax-deductible gift before December 31st. Sandi Chard Polio Plus & /Annual Fund Chair | ||
