Finance - Kelly shared an update on our fiscal budget in a concise manner showing all expenditures and income.  Kelly reviewed all categories/committees and final 2018/19 numbers will be presented at our AGM Dec. 23rd.  It was well done and easy to follow and understand.

 

Polio/Foundation - Greg took the opportunity to share a video that was done quite a few years ago but it still sent the same message as what is happening today in country's with outbreaks of Polio....... and the importance of contributions to the Rotary Foundation that keeps this effort alive to eradicate Polio.  Rotary goes into remote areas with the support of the United Nations WHO (World Health Organization).    It was a good reminder for us that we are almost there in the fight against Polio!!
