PolioPlus Campaign Update

We have made tremendous progress in our effort to raise $60,000 Plus as our part of the worldwide Rotary International effort to eradicate Polio. We are now over $50,000 in commitments from Rotary Club #14 members and, to those of you who have made a commitment, we appreciate your support very much! We have also had a wonderful response from the presentations made by members about their personal memories of polio in America. Bill Palmer and Todd Hall have provided meaningful background through their perspectives of what happened in the polio epidemic in our country and I deeply appreciate all the kind comments and support I have received about my experiences with my friend Doug Martin. The story about Doug's battle with polio can now be read on the Lincoln Journal Star Website.

We are closing in on success and we will be inviting everyone to make a commitment in their support of the program next week at our Tuesday meeting. We will also be making an attempt to contact everyone who can't attend Tuesday's meeting during two club member call nights on Tuesday the 8th of July and Wednesday the 9th of July. We deeply appreciate your support and consideration of this very important program in the 100 year history of Rotary International. Please consider a gift of $600 or more and become a member of the 7500Plus Club. A commitment of $600 will enable us to protect 7500 children around the world from this dreaded disease. Please make your pledge next week. Thank you!
