Charles McGehee Isaacs, who went by "McGehee", passed away on Saturday, September 23, 2017, will be interred after a burial service in the Memorial Garden of the Cathedral Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania on Friday, October 6th at 2 p.m. followed by a reception celebrating his life.
In addition to MSR supporting the Rotary's Purple Pinkie 5K/10K as sponsors, President Cheryl has challenged our club to not only be involved by making our annual gift of $1500 toward the Polio Plus effort through them to multiply its benefit, but also that we field a team to participate in the event.
If you can not make it to the event, please donate any amount to the cause. This will support KOA who will walk for MSR in your honor!

Dear District 7430 Rotarians,
This year we would like to get all Rotarians in the district involved in the Purple Pinkie event on October 14 to help eradicate Polio worldwide. Our goal is to DOUBLE the amount of money we raise for Polio this year to $35,000.
If you can’t attend on October 14, you can sponsor someone who is participating either of two ways:
Through the online form under “Sponsor a Participant”. The link is: www.purplepinkie.net
Simply by giving the participant a check made out to “The Rotary Foundation”
If you don’t know who to sponsor, many of the club presidents and district leadership are participating and will be listed on the website. Participants who are seeking sponsors will also have a paper pledge form.
All donations from Rotarians to the race will be credited directly in their name to the Rotary Foundation account for Paul Harris Fellow credit. For every dollar we raise, two dollars will be donated by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Let’s make this our most successful Purple Pinkie yet!
Many of you have asked how you can help the hurricane relief efforts through Rotary. While there are many ways to help, the District 7430 Leadership has decided to provide matching funds to support ShelterBox USA. https://www.shelterboxusa.org/
For every $5,000 increment of funds donated to ShelterBox USA by district Rotarians (individual Rotarians, Rotary Clubs, Interact Clubs, or Rotaract Clubs) another ShelterBox ($1,000 donation) will be donated from District funds. This incentive offer is open to December 1, 2017 and is limited to FIVE ShelterBoxes by the district.
Please report your contributions to your Club President who will report to their Assistant Governor. This match is for all contributions made between August 25, 2017 and December 1, 2017.
