One does not need to go far in our District to find Rotarians expressing the Paul Harris vision of friendship, fellowship, and fulfillment in a welcoming setting, where the development of acquaintance leads to community/global outreach along with member engagement through service and contributions of many sorts. 

 

My good fortune this week was to accompany my Paul Harris facsimile to another four District Clubs, where that magic of fulfillment was resulting in the form of students of the month presentations, fundraising activities, happy dollar proclamations of inspiration and aspiration, plans for holiday social events, reports on service projects, and many special fellowship opportunities.

October is highlighted by World Polio Day and dedicated to taking stock of the remarkable role Rotarians play in eradicating polio, one of the greatest challenges undertaken by a nonprofit and one of the greatest successes.
That goal has been a rallying cry for four decades as Rotarians have answered the call to take on one of greatest threats to our health.

As a measure of Rotary’s commitment and willpower, since the 1980s over $2 billion dollars and untold thousands of hours of service have been provided by dedicated Rotarians.

 

This month, be sure to participate in Pints for Polio and other aptly named events to bring this battle to a successful end. A District event to consider the bike Ride to eradicate Polio on Sunday, October 20. I look forward to seeing you at one or more of these activities.

Also, make a note to attend

See you soon,
Paul
