 PolioPlus
Rotary is a pioneer in the fight against polio and started efforts in 1978 with a very ambitious goal to reach a polio-free world. Rotarians have upheld the Region over the most challenging times, including financial and political crises.  Please consider becoming a member of District 6290 Polio Plus Society and you fill out the form here to send to Kathy Hegedus at kathyh@ridistrict6290.org. You can also read up on Rotary's long-term relationship with helping those affected here. 
Visioning Session
Thank you to all the members who took time out of their busy schedules to attend the Rotary Visioning Session to start the ball rolling on establishing what is going to be important to our club over the next few years. The district facilitators did a great job of helping us narrow down areas of focus so we can now come up with action plans that will help us reach our goals. If you were not able to attend, do not worry! The work is not over and we still need everyone's help to make sure we keep moving forward in the process. A team of leaders for the visioning has been established and they will have more information to present to the club shortly, so stay tuned!
 
Dues Are Due!
If you have not paid your dues for the quarter, please get those payments in ASAP. If you have any questions about your invoice please contact Mack Beers at mackbeers@gmail.com
PR Committee Volunteers
The PR committee is looking for a few more people to join their committee to help with upcoming projects such as writing a short summary of the meeting speaker's presentation to share. The time commitment is very minimal (like an hour every month) especially if more people volunteer. We are working to become more active on social media as well as spreading the word about Rotary in the community in different ways. If you would like to volunteer you can reach out to Jon Randles at jon.randles@pauldavis.com or Madison Ford at mford@fordinsurance.com
