Bikers Needed to End Polio!
We are this close! This is our Rotary Mantra to remind us how close the world is to removing Polio from the face of the Earth. And we, as Rotarians, can have a little bit of pride in knowing how much our efforts have contributed to getting us to this point. After all, we made a promise to the world when Rotary began the Polio Plus program to do just that. So, this is no time to let up. In fact, we need to raise more awareness and funds to support this cause.Well, guess what? You have the opportunity to do just that. On September 26th, at 9:00 a.m. at the Ellicott Creek Trailways Park, in Amherst, NY, the Amherst South Rotary Club will be hosting the “Poker Run Bike Ride to End Polio”. This is an opportunity to get together with your fellow Rotarians and friends of Rotarians, to ride your bikes together, have some fellowship, raise some funds and have a little fun while doing so! Riders will be collecting cards along the trail, trying to get the best hand and win prizes. And don’t forget that all funds raised for Polio Plus will be matched 2 to 1 by the Gates Foundation.
If you want to join the efforts, please register with Scott Marcin at sdmarcin@gmail.com.
