ALL AGLOW FOR POLIO

World Polio Day, October 24, 2022, is always a much-anticipated day for District 7090. We not only try to raise money through a variety of events, but we also strive to raise public awareness of the need to continue our efforts for the elimination of Polio in the world. 
 
This year, for the first time, we had four coordinated lightings along the border, signaling our continued District bi-national support for the elimination of Polio. 
 
Those lightings included Niagara Falls, the Peace Bridge (pictured left) the Buffalo Electric Tower and the Dome of City Hall in Buffalo (below). The lightings were sponsored by the Rotary Club of Hamburg and arranged by Rotarian and past Foundation Chair, Pat Castiglia.
 
All members were invited by current Foundation Chair, Sandi Chard, in the last Foundation newsletter, to view and share in our pride for the work Rotary has done, and continues to do, for this effort.  Clubs could gather, for example, at one of the lighted sites and enjoy the blue and gold colors of Rotary that were displayed.
 
Please enjoy the attached photos celebrating our End Polio effort.   We did not get a photo of the Falls this year, but expect some of you were able to view them in all their blue and gold glory!
