10/24 - World Polio Day
On October 24, Rotary International will again mark World Polio Day. All Rotary Clubs are asked to raise awareness of the urgent need to End Polio Now. As of today, only 14 children have been paralyzed by the wild polio-virus in all of 2018. This wild virus still circulates in only one remaining area, on the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Past President Nancy Thomas is working with other Newark Rotarians to identify how Newark Rotary Club could raise awareness of the need to End Polio Now.
Reminders...
1. John Becker reminded Club Members to bring in their Crab Feed ticket money. The Club needs to have a cash reserve to purchase needed supplies and equipment . . . . we only have 48 days until the event.
2. Belinda Maloney want Club members to bring in their Crab Feed raffle and auction items, or money as soon as possible. They can be brought to a Newark Rotary meeting or taken directly to Nancy Thomas' home. Please contact Nancy in advance to make sure she will be home to receive them.
