World Polio Day

Dear fellow Rotarians,

October 24^th is World Polio Day, a time for Rotarians to celebrate what we have accomplished and to raise awareness about our continuing efforts to eradicate polio for good. To this end, we will hold a polio walk “walking for polio, so others can”.

Please join us at 11:00 a.m., next Saturday, the 24^th, at the Splash Pad, for a downtown walk. Or, if you can’t join or are hesitant because of Covid-19, consider building your own route and walking with household members.

Whatever you decide, please take pictures and submit them for posting on our website. And, don’t forget to wear masks and social distance, even though we will be outdoors.

We ask that you register for the walk and make a 20$ donation. In return, you will get a t-shirt. Information on how to register will be forthcoming.

Hope to see many of you there, especially given that we have few opportunities to see each other in person these days.
