Bill Patchett was our guest speaker. He spoke to the club about Foundation and all the functions it holds in Rotary International.

One of the highlights was that in two years we will only have two nations left with polio. Foundation, along with all the rotary members around the world, have answered the call when it comes to helping eradicate polio. As well, Foundation is looking ahead to a new challenge to take on once Polio has been eradicated.

Bill also pointed out that we haven't reached our goal yet. We have to think outside-of-the-box when it comes to raising money to fight polio.

The draw this week was for $1,910. Angie pulled the 10 of spades, better luck next time!!! Remember you can't win if you don't buy a ticket. Good luck!
