 As you know, the eradication of Polio is Rotary International's number one promise to the world. It is our largest global project. We have made much progress over the years, and there is still much to be done. The infrastructure of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (of which RI is a partner) has most recently been used to combat COVID. Now, countries around the world are re-instituting Polio vaccinations for their children. And Rotary is there to help.
But it is intuitively obvious to the most casual observer that the effort needs money in order to keep going. So, I am asking you to make a special donation of at least $100 to the PolioPlus Fund. This would be over and above your normal annual donation to PolioPlus.
And, if you do so, I will personally mail you an official US Mint one dollar coin which commemorates the discovery of the Polio vaccine. Join members of my club who have already made a special contribution to PolioPlus.
Here is how you do it. Select endpolo.org or myrotary.org. After you sign it, look in the upper right hand corner of the home page. Click that button and follow the easy-to-understand instructions. You will get Paul Harris points AND, more importantly, you will join thousands of Rotarians across the world in eradicating a horrible disease.
To get the coin, just email me the receipt you receive from TRF at pdgjohn2015@gmail.com and I will get the coin in the mail to you, with my personal thanks. Oh. And this offer is limited to the first seventy-seven people who respond. That's all the coins I have left.
Join us in Rotary's number one mission! And thank you.

ary Club of New Holland are mourning the loss of their fellow member, Titus Musser, who passed away on February 11, 2021. Having joined the club in 1961, Titus was a dedicated, long-time member, and served as its past president, Secretary and Treasurer. Titus was just as dedicated to Rotary on an international level and was recently awarded the Paul Harris Fellow +5 pin shortly before his death. Titus retired from his excavating business after 60 years, was very involved in the retirement community where he lived, and enjoyed gardening and woodworking. In the photos, you can see an example of Titus’ woodworking craftsmanship in the model he built of a one-room schoolhouse he attended as a child. All of us in the club thank you, Titus, for your inspiration and dedication to our club. You will be missed!
