President Jennifer Bates Message

Hello fellow club members and friends,

 

October is when we focus on ending polio in the world. Only three countries still suffer with it: Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria.

 

Volunteers are on the ground throughout the world to make sure this effort is completed.

 

Our donation to Rotary International toward this goal will be raised from our dinner at Longhorn in San Patricio Plaza on Thursday, October 27.

 

Show up with some friends any time between 5 and 10pm, and 25% of your check will be sent toward endpolio.org. This coupon must be included in each check.

 

See you there!

 

Jennifer
