Posted by Tim Mucrone, District PolioPlus chair
Our district is holding its first-ever districtwide event to help eradicate polio: “The Amazing Race (to End Polio) Scavenger Hunt!"  This interactive, virtual event will be held on World Polio Day, October 24, 2020, from 9-10:00 a.m. (Note: All local social distance and mask guidelines need to be followed while participating.)
 
Create a team of two, then race against each other to find or perform ten items in the local communities that are (loosely) tied to Rotary's polio efforts. Registered participants will receive the search list at 8:45 a.m. that day. Teams of two allow for one to be Zooming while the other hunts. A panel of Zoom hosts will provide running commentary, polio video snippets and general gibberish. The first team that secures all ten items will be awarded a Paul Harris Fellowship donated from club points. You can enjoy the Zoom events without being a participating team. 
 
Register your team, adding your team name and members' names in the Comments box. Teams can contact Tim Mulcrone for bling, such as brochures, shirts, paddle-signs, etc. Tim's cell phone number is (952) 239-1594.
 
Teams will pledge $0.10 to End Polio Now. Yes, ten cents. This is the cost of one dose of oral polio vaccine that will protect a child against polio. The goal of this event is promoting Rotary’s number one effort in the world - ending polio! To learn more about our efforts, donate, help raise awareness or share your time, please visit endpolio.org
