Join the PolioPlus Society
The PolioPlus Society is a commitment to continue to donate each new Rotary year a minimum of $100. Donations to PolioPlus fund covers Rotary’s cost to purchase vaccines; store in refrigerated storage; distribute with protected containers and necessary distribution sources which many times may be burros, humans, and other vehicles; 120,000 volunteers; 146 laboratories; 400 million vaccines annually; etc. We need to vaccinate 400 million children in over 60 countries each year to protect the children of the world.
November is The Rotary Foundation month. The Rotary Foundation transforms your gifts into service projects that change lives both close to home and around the world. Since it was founded more than 100 years ago, the Foundation has spent more than $4 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects. With your help, we can make lives better in your community and around the world. The Rotary Foundation helps Rotary members to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace by improving health, providing quality education, improving the environment, and alleviating poverty.
Club Foundation Chair Mike Kato has issued limited time incentives for members that contribute to PolioPlus in the month of October and November:
The West Honolulu Rotary Club will gift you 1 Paul Harris Fellow Point for each dollar of your contribution (up to $250 cumulative for PolioPlus and The Rotary Foundation). For example, if you contribute $50, you will earn 100 Paul Harris Fellow Points, instead of just fifty.
Any member that contributes in October and November will be entered into a special drawing to earn 200 additional Paul Harris Fellow points that I will gift to the winner (to be announced at our Annual Xmas Dinner).
As we head into the holiday season, let's reflect on all the things to be thankful for and that enrich our lives. We will be dark (no meeting) for Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year. Our holiday party will be on Friday, December 8th at the Outrigger Canoe Club. Please sign up on the Google sheet.
