District 7090 Events for Polio

CANADA SIDE
Once again this year, Rotary District 7090 invites you to take part in a special event to End Polio: the 6th Annual Dr. Ron Mergl Participate for Polio on Saturday, September 13. Bring your bike and join the ride!
Dr. Ron Mergl was a dedicated member of the Rotary Club of Niagara Falls for over 33 years, a past president, and a multiple Paul Harris Fellow. Alongside his wife June, he participated in Rotary International’s Polio Immunization Days in both India and Benin, Africa. Ron passed away in July 2020, having lived by his mantra: always help those who have less.
Participants will gather at 10:00 a.m. at the St. Davids Lions Club, 1462 York Road, St. Davids, before cycling to Niagara-on-the-Lake. After our return, we will convene for food, beverages, and fellowship at The Old Firehall Restaurant, just a short distance away at 268 Four Mile Creek Road.
Our fundraising goal is $5,000 CAD from the Ontario side of the District. Due to global efforts led by Rotary, polio cases have dropped by 99.9%. Although we are closer than ever, significant challenges remain. Every $1 you give becomes $3 thanks to the 2:1 match from the Gates Foundation. Let's End Polio Now!
