Continue to create awareness about Rotary’s key role in eradicating polio and raising funds towards this cause which continues to pay benefits.
Rotary is the Best Kept Secret in your community! You can help by ensuring your Club Is posting pictures and stories about Club projects on social media. When you do, encourage your club to share with friends! Follow District 5970 on Facebook for ideas and see what other Clubs are doing here.

REMEMBER NOVEMBER! That’s our slogan for this month.
November is Rotary Foundation Month and we hope you’ve made plans in your club to promote the good work of the Foundation and to implement your fundraising plan to support that good work. We just celebrated World Polio Day. Our challenge is before us. Let’s keep our “Countdown To History” going and end polio now. Thank you for your gifts to the PolioPlus Fund. It remains the Foundation’s top priority!
