Thanks to all clubs and members who have been participating in “Move for Polio – End Polio Now”, the District fundraiser which started on July 1st and ends on October 24th.As of July 21st, we have raised over $7,000, with 28 Clubs collaborating and 58 members making pledges. Now our target is $100,000 so we have a lot of moving to do!
Remember for every dollar raised, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation matches it 2:1.

If you like the sound of this then bring along a family member or friend and show them that Rotarians are “People of Action”.
