This week we focus on committees as we organize our club activities for this year. Projects to be worked on include: Butt Buster 2026, Trick or Treat Downtown 2025, Salvation Army Bell Ringing, District Grant development. Plan to attend and participate in our many service projects.
We are raising money to eradicate Polio by designating all Happy $'s in October to Rotary's Polio Plus campaign. We are also selling raffle tickets for Sip & Screen to Stop Polio. Check out this flyer for information:
We are drawing the winning tickets on Oct 31st at 7pm at Rotary Plaza at the “After Trick or Treat Downtown Bourbon Tasting” event. You do NOT have to be present to win! Your contributions to Happy $'s and the amounts you use to purchase raffle tickets will be credited to your RI Polio Plus accounts. Keep in mind that the money raised in Oct by the club will be matched by the District x1 and also by the Gates Foundation x2.
Have a great week!
