We are "THIS CLOSE" so let's not stop now! During the week of February18th - 23rd every District 5710 Rotarian will have an opportunity to rededicate their support for Polio Plus through participation in Rotary International's "World Peace & Understanding Day's"  2019 $2 for 2 Drops by accepting the online donation Challenge at http://rotaryworldpeace.org. With the help of the Gates Foundation Match, almost 7500 children could be vaccinated if each Rotarian in our District were to sign in and donate even as little as $2. Spread the word and encourage every member of every club be a part of this important Polio Plus Challenge.

Merriam Park Elementary to Kauffman Center
Coach Dre` matched us up with an opportunity to assist the Merriam Park Elementary School and the SMKS Rotary Club Board approved funding.
Merriam Park's  3rd, 4th, and 5th grade field trip (on April 4th) to go to the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. 
The students learn so much from this field trip and it’s really reasonably priced.  The Kaufman Center describes the program here, scroll down to April 4th..
 
The total cost is $484. Kauffman Center’s Open Doors program provided a grant that will cover transportation. All students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th will attend along with the choir director, their classroom teachers, paras, and a few parents to support specific students. Before attending the Link Up: The Orchestra Moves concert, students will learn the pieces to be performed at the concert in music class.  Here's a YouTube example of what They will do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPVu-2MNtZ0.
