END POLIO NOW NORTHBROOK CLUB UPDATES

A PROCLAMATION regarding World Polio Day will be presented at the Tuesday, October 12th, Village Board meeting (7:30 – 9 PM) in the Sandra Frum Board Room at 1225 Cedar Lane. Thank you to Sandy and Carlos Frum who will accept the proclamation on behalf of Ron Knight and the club. Club members may attend this event at the Village Hall on Tuesday.
 
Therefore, the Village of Northbrook hereby proclaims October 24, 2021 as World Polio Day in Northbrook and encourages all citizens to join Rotary International in the fight for a polio-free world.
 
END POLIO NOW DONATIONS
On October 7th Rick Rivkin did an incredible presentation on behalf of our Rotary End Polio Now initiative. The zoom event reached 60 plus members of the TNG Group of area businesspeople. The Networking Group – or TNG - is a philanthropic networking group that features a member’s charity each month to support.
 
In addition to his talk, Rick provided a vivid illustration, in slides, photos and video that really stressed the importance of our “this close” effort. It was also a reminder that Rotary is also a business group.
The special link he added to our donor page resulted in about $400 DONATED to End Polio Now. Thank you Rick!!
