On Thursday November 7th we welcomed Past District Governor Robert Palmateer to our weekly meeting.  Bob is the District 7080 Chair for Rotary Foundation and spoke of "why" it is so important for us all to support Rotary Foundation, "our charity".

The Club was proud to make a $500 donation to Rotary Foundation's "Polio Plus Fund" that will be matched 2 to 1 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, making it into $1,500 - enough to immunize about 2500 children against this terrible crippling disease.  Rotary has been working with the United Nations, World Health Organization and Centre for Disease Control since about 1985 in a global project to finally eradicate the disease.
