200 Million $ Polio Challenge

Dear Fellow Rotarians,

I rececived this news from William Patchett which I wish to share with everyone in the District.

WOW!!  We have had a fabulous year toward meeting our $ 200 million
Challenge.  We have only $ 65 million to go..................!  If we
continue with our strong support, our creative, innovative marketing program and continue to 'go outside of the box' to let others participate in this
dream, we will succeed in meeting our Challenge.
Please try to concentrate on those clubs that have not yet participated.
They, too should have the opportunity to be part of the Team and share our
success.

Ms. Thie Convery has a new idea for us:  she will swim across Lake Ontario
to raise funds for Polio.  This venture is called STEP - Swim To Eradicate
Polio.  There is a file attached with dates and distance.  If you know of
someone who would sponsor Thie and her swim, by all means do inform me.   I
would truly appreciate any contribution towards Thie's swim.  All money will
go to The Rotary Foundation.  Send it to David Prowse, The Rotary
Foundation, Canada, Box B 9322, Post Office Box 9100, Postal Stn F, Toronto,
Ontario, M4Y 3A5.

What an easy way to meet our Challenge and promote Polio eradication.
