Club Honoured for $2000 Polio Contribution

The club was also honoured for being one of 19 district clubs that donated at least $2000 to the PolioPlus challenge. One of the highlight of the evening was the presentation to Thie Convery for her swim of Lake Ontario to raise money for polio.  A cheque for $52 000 was presented from the Dundas Rotary Club to District Governor Karen Oakes and then to Bill Patchett, Rotary Zone 24 Polio Challenge Coordinator. That money was raised by contributions to the club from people sponsoring Thie's swim. As well, Bill Patchett reminded us that another $130 000 was raised from other clubs across Canada because of Thie's efforts.

Each member of the club is asked to go on the Rotary website, rotary.org, and go to the member access section. You enter your email address and password (you can get a password if you do not have one) and see your personal account. If you have not done this recently, Rotary Foundation Month is a good time to do so.
