Purple for Polio Day is October 17, 2017 at the regular meeting of Monroe Rotary - 12 noon at Monroe Golf and Country Club. Members are asked to wear something purple for the meeting and make a donation to the Rotary Polio Project. With your donation, you will be "giving Polio the finger", your little finger that is! When polio vaccine is given, it is followed by the little finger being dipped in a purple ink well to identify all those who have received the vaccine. We will have our own PURPLE INK WELL for dipping of fingers and thanking our members for their donations.
District 6400 Polio Day Chair, Aruna Koushik, is asking for each Rotary Club in District 6400 to organize a photo of the club members wearing purple. The club picture will be taken at the end of our meeting and displayed on World Polio Day, October 24, 2017. at Monroe County Community College "livestream" event and reception. The District governor Rick Caron will go boldly and Sky Dive for Polio this coming spring 2018 if there are 30 clubs who participate with the club pictures.
Monroe Rotary accepts the challenge!
Please join us at the meeting.
