Hello Rotarians!

We are just a few days away from the Rotary District 5130 World Polio Torch
Relay arriving on the Mendocino Coast, and I wanted to reach out one more
time as we head into this very special weekend.

First, a huge thank you to everyone who has been helping behind the scenes,
sharing information, making plans, and supporting this effort. This relay
has truly been a District-wide team effort, with Rotary Clubs all along the
route working together toward one goal: ending polio for good.

I have to give a shout-out to our friends in the Fort Bragg Rotary Club.
They have already exceeded their fundraising goal!

I know Mendocino can do the same.

If you have not yet made a donation to our Mendocino fundraiser, there is
still plenty of time. Every amount matters, whether it is $10, $25, $50,
$100 or more. Thanks to the Gates Foundation’s 2-to-1 match, every $1
donated to PolioPlus becomes $3 toward Rotary’s work to end polio.

Here is our Mendocino fundraising page:

For Rotarians, your personal donation to The Rotary Foundation through our
fundraiser also counts toward your Paul Harris recognition.

But just as important as raising money, I would really love to see our club
show up on Saturday.

The torch begins its Mendocino Coast journey with our fellow Rotarians in
Fort Bragg Saturday morning and will make its way south along the coast
before arriving in Mendocino Village. We will then gather at Rotary Park
from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. for our community celebration.

Please come out and join us!

Bring your family. Bring a friend. Wear your Rotary gear if you have it.
Come for the whole afternoon or simply stop by Rotary Park to welcome the
torch and be part of the celebration.

There will be free hot dogs, popcorn and refreshments, and most
importantly, an opportunity for our community to see Rotary in action.

I’ve attached the flyer again. Please share it with friends, family and
neighbors, and on your social media. Even if someone cannot attend, sharing
the flyer or donation link helps spread the word.

Rotary began its fight against polio more than 40 years ago, and what
started as an ambitious idea has become one of the most extraordinary
public health efforts in history. We are now part of carrying that
commitment forward, right here in our little corner of the world.

I am so thankful to be part of a club that continually steps up for our
community and for causes far beyond it. I know we can make Mendocino proud
this weekend.

Let’s help reach our fundraising goal, and let’s give the torch a wonderful
Mendocino welcome on Saturday!

Warm Regards,
Margaret
