Dear Gary,<br>
<br>
This message is being sent to all Rotarians in District 5130
<p style="text-align:center" align="center"><b><u>WHAT</u></b></p>
<p style="text-align:center" align="center"><span style="font-size:18pt"><b>Announcing Pedal 4 Polio 2018</b></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hi Everyone...In 2017 Pedal 4 Polio went North to South along the Highway 101 Corridor, from Crescent City to Petaluma. And the clubs along that corridor got to participate in supporting the riders with socials and potluck dinners, hosting them for the night, sending them off in the morning with great fanfare, perhaps hosting a rest stop, and in the process creating strong bonds among the riders and their host Rotarians.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt"><b>Problem!</b> </span>Although the Rotary Clubs along the 101 Corridor got to participate, the Clubs along the Coast, and in Napa and Lake Counties did not. <span style="font-size:16pt"><b>Solution?</b> <b>Pedal 4 Polio 2018</b></span>. We are going to ride from one side of our District to the other…from Fort Bragg to Lakeport over a 5 day period.</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:center" align="center"><b><u>WHERE & WHEN?</u></b></p>
<ul style="margin-left:440px">
<li>Tuesday, October 2<sup>nd</sup> – Fort Bragg to Gualala – 58 miles</li>
<li>Wednesday, October 3<sup>rd</sup> – Gualala to Sebastopol – 61 miles</li>
<li>Thursday, October 4<sup>th</sup> – Sebastopol to Napa – 54 miles</li>
<li>Friday, October 5<sup>th</sup> – Napa to Middletown – 61 miles</li>
<li>Saturday, October 6<sup>th</sup> – Ride in Lakeport Rotary’s Konocti Challenge – 66 miles</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center" align="center"><b>300 miles total</b></p>
<p style="text-align:center" align="center"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center" align="center"><b><u>WHY?</u></b></p>
<p>Why are we doing this? I think you know the answer…to help raise awareness in our communities of Rotary’s fight against polio, as well as raise funds to help bring an end to this scourge. Last year’s Pedal 4 Polio was successful in raising almost $140,000, or about $61 per Rotarian in the District. This year we would like to ask each and every Rotarian to pledge at least $65 to your favorite rider, or if you don’t have a favorite rider…to all riders! Details will follow shortly on how to donate. And lastly, to <b>“have a good time while doing good” </b><b><span style="font-family:Wingdings">J</span></b></p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:center" align="center"><b><u>WHO?</u></b></p>
<p>Attached is a spreadsheet listing the riders who have committed to the Ride. There are limited spaces still available for the whole ride, and one and two day riders are also encouraged to join us, especially as we pass thru your community. Contact Bob Rogers at <a href="mailto:crobertrogers@comcast.net" target="_blank">crobertrogers@comcast.net</a> for details and to get on the list.</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:center" align="center"><b><u><span style="color:red">PEDAL 4 POLIO BIKE JERSEYS</span></u></b></p>
<p>Whether you ride in P4P or not, we are making P4P bike jerseys available to all Rotarians in the district. The design is similar to the first year’s jerseys. They are a bargain at $60. <b><span style="color:red">WARNING – Order immediately.</span> <span style="color:red">Deadline is Sunday, August 19<sup>th</sup> (This weekend, only 4 days away).</span> </b><span style="font-size:16pt"><b>See Attachment labeled P4P 2018 Jerseys for details.</b></span></p>
