Our District Conference is fast approaching. If you have not yet registered - now is the time to do so. And yes, that includes registering for our 'End Polio Now Walk to create awareness'.
We have 54 clubs in our District including Rotaract Clubs. Each club is challenged to contribute at least $1,500 toward ‘Ending Polio’. Let’s meet this challenge. We can do this.
Despite what's going on in the world today - Rotary is neither stopping nor slowing down in fulfilling the promise made to the world’s children of a polio free world.
Let's walk to show our support. Let's walk to show our commitment. Let’s walk to solidify our resolve to stay the course and keep that promise.
Up next: Phase 2 increment 3 will replace the deteriorating chain link fence with sturdy metal fencing on top of the exterior rock wall and lockable entrance gates on three sides to define the site and improve security.
Fundraising continues and we salute the Osaka Higashi Rotary Club of Japan for its recent generous donation to the park effort.
