With six more months left in the Rotary year, I have many hopes and wishes.  I will share five of them… In the hopes that you can help me to make them come true!

 

1. We grow the number of Rotarians in our District so that we have 2022 of us!  We want and need more people to help us “serve to change lives”.  Our Rotary International President has challenged each of us to bring one.  In January, I will be doing just that - bringing a young female (under 35 years of age) into my Rotary Club of Hamilton AM as a new member.  I am hoping you can do the same. 

 

We are also encouraging clubs to create Satellite Clubs whose members are your members but meet at a different time or in a different way.  Maybe you could volunteer with a few others to make this happen for your club.

 

Thank you again to Thie Convery for challenging the clubs in District 7090 to support Polio.  The challenge to donate by December 15th $1725 USD.  Thie would match the $1725. We opened the challenge dollar for dollar for Rotaract clubs.  Thank you to Earlyact-Lockport, Niagara Rotaract and Buffalo Rotaract who together raised $1389.

 

It was a challenging year for many clubs, but 31 clubs rose to the Polio Challenge by raising funds in the Participate for Polio "bike/walk/run" event and direct donations to reach the minimum of $1725.  Read on to view the club results!
