Annual Foundation Walk
President Christine represent our Club at the District’s Annual Foundation Walk in Kingston on May 11th. As in the past, our Club will match PHF Recognition Points for any Club member who donates $25.00 or more to the Annual Fund of the Foundation to support the Walk. The committee has extended the matching points until the end of June.
To do so, write a check to the Rotary Foundation. Please give your check to Mariko or Kate by the end of June.
Club Continues Stellar Support for Polio Eradication
$23,750 Raised in Past 5 Years
Polio Swimarathon Event Coordinator Don Klug reports that our Club has raised $23,750 toward polio eradication between 2015 and 2019. Four swimmers have individually raised over $2,000 each during this time frame: Beth Linderman ($6,348), Ben Coe ($5,100), Howie Ganter ($2,010), and Jeff Wood ($2010). Eight additional Club members have together raised over $5400: Diana Woodhouse, Bob Gorman, Jeff Barnard, Mark Walzyck, Bill Hartman, Jim Fitzpatrick, Christine Cisco, and Dean Witmer.
Congratulations and many thanks to Don for superb leadership, to the swimmers for their fund-raising prowess, and to all who donated to this very important initiative!
