ETX Brewing Co. 0.5K Pints for Polio Wrap Up - Thank you to all of the South Tyler Rotarians who came out on a rainy Saturday to "run" or volunteer at the first 0.5K Pints for Polio run at ETX Brewing Co. It was a great afternoon (despite the threat of rain) and a good time was had by all. Stay tuned for the announcement on how much we raised for Polio Plus.
Thanks to new members Nate Rhyne and Annie Gilstrap from ETX Brewing / The Porch for planning and organizing the event. A big thank you to member Hagan Patterson for taking the lead on this for STR.
