Finishing Strong….End-of-Year Rotary Contributions
 
Your 2021-2022 support of The Rotary Foundation will make it possible for Rotary to fund hundreds of Global and District Grants, administer childhood immunizations to eradicate Polio, and generate dollars to provide Disaster Response especially to Ukraine.  In fact, District 7390 Rotarians have contributed approximately $75,000 this year to disaster response.  Every donation helps improve lives and communities around the world.
 
There is still time to realize your annual giving goals.  Fulfilling pledges to the Paul Harris Society ($1,000 annually) and the district PolioPlus Society ($100 annually) are key to the work of the Foundation.  If you have not completed your pledge for this year, please help the district finish strong before the end of the month.
 
Donations to PolioPlus will be matched 2 to 1 by the Gates Foundation.  The number of Polio cases in the world is rising, now up to six according to John Kramb, Region 39 Polio Now Coordinator.  And, a new country, Mozambique, reported a new case in the last two weeks.
