Marny Eulberg, MD (marnyeul@me.com) of the Wheat Ridge Rotary Club will be heading the District Polio Committee in this New Year and we look forward to her leadership. Our goal is to continue educating our members and the community about Rotary International's #1 priority - ridding the world of the poliovirus and assuring that funding is in place to succeed.
As of year-end 2017, we have nine Clubs that have met the Polio Committee’s challenge of raising $50 per member. A huge thanks and kudos to those who met this goal prior to the Rotary International President's Dinner on January 6th: Arvada, Aurora, Brush, Denver, Denver Mile High, Golden, Granby, South Jeffco, and Wheat Ridge
The Committee is pleased to announce the development of a Speakers Bureau, a Q&A segment, and fundraising suggestions to be posted on our District website. If your club is looking for support in reaching your Polio fund goal, please check the website which will be operational by the end of January 2018.
Results of the Tucson Bike Race are in! $11,747,548 was raised this year for Polio Eradication. We had several riders in our District participate locally and look to expand this next year. If you are a bike rider and would like to help us plan for November 2018, please contact: pamalagaylor@yahoo.com.
Please let us know how we can help you reach your goals!
