Pat Birch and Pat Leach invite Rotarians and their friends to join them for a prairie walk to support Rotary’s Global Polio Eradication Initiative. We'll celebrate the prairie in spring and Earth Day. Join us at the earth-shelter home of Pat Leach and Bill Oberg for short-and-easy walks through the prairie at their place just northwest of Lincoln. To sweeten the deal, Pat and Pat will provide home-baked cookies and coffee. Come to walk in nature or just enjoy the view and the cookies. Further details and a map will be sent following registration.
A $50 donation per person is requested. Checks should be made out to "Polio Plus" and turned in at the event.
