MONTE CARLO NIGHT

Bob Daeo said that this year’s Monte Carlo Night will be on Nov. 21 at the race track in the Chandelier Room. Tickets for the drawing are $20 and the proceeds support the Red Cross. Bob also said that the Red Cross is selling the Entertainment book for $25, a very good value considering all the discount coupons that are offered. Please call Bob or the Red Cross if you would like to purchase either or both.

ROTARY POLIO PIG

The pig was circulated through the room for more donations. Bob Novell reminded us of the reason for the pig and Rotary’s quest to eradicate Polio worldwide. In the last Rotary year, 1,200 cases were reported, a decline of 200 from the prior year. The goal is for complete eradication in two years.
