This weekend our club had a pop-up tent event on Airport Road, selling coffee for EndPolio.
Karen Weckerly was very kind to provide three blends of her coffees, one light roast, one medium roast, and one dark roast. By my count we sold 48 bags of coffee for a profit of $240. Unsold coffee was returned, so there was no risk for our club. That money amount will be tripled by the matching grant from Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. In addition, a Rotary District 6420 check was presented for $1,000 for our Club’s Foundation and it’s “End Polio Now” Program under the strong Club leadership of Dr. Paul Stromborg. This check was presented by District Treasurer Steve Kuhn to our Club President Michael DeVito on Saturday at our pop up Airport Road tent. That's $1,720 more towards the goal of a polio-free world. To those Rotarians and Rotaract members who braved wet, cold conditions on Friday and all day on Saturday, "thanks!"
Bob Brown just may be the next Joe Bussone. A very special thanks to Rotarian Karen Weckerly and Coroco coffee for her generosity. Don’t forget to visit her shop or online sales site by clicking the banner on the Sycamore Rotary club website. Her business seems to be booming and that is just great!!
