Sat., Oct. 24 - World Polio Day!

President Kolby's membership goal for RY2026-27 is a net 78 (we are currently at 72) which means we need to work hard to find more new members.

How is this to be done? The only way we can reach our goal of five new members this year, is by inviting someone - a friend, neighbor, or co-worker - to check us out around the lunch table!

To accomplish our goal, our in-house graphic designer David Martinez has created an invitation and printed 1000 for our use (note our new club email address) ... so we want EVERY member of SGR to take at least 15 to hand out over the next twelve months (easy, peasy ... that's just 1-ish per month).

It all starts with an invitation to lunch ... so, who do you know who should be in Rotary?

The annual gathering of Rotarians - held each year in a different city and where participants celebrate RI's accomplishments, get updates and exchange ideas while learning more about Rotary - will be held during the week of

June 26-30, 2027 in THIS CITY.

Pakistan reports 3 new cases of wild-polio with paralysis this week, while Afghanistan added 2 more cases to their count last week for a worldwide total of 29 in 2026!

Since we haven't yet crossed the finish line in this 36-year fight, will you please consider joining the PolioPlus Society at a nominal cost of just $8.50 per month - or a single annual donation of $100 - to save children around the world from this dreaded disease?

See Foundation Chair LaRene Cox or Collin Davis, our club treasurer for information on how to sign up because this fight isn't over 'til its over!
