Rotary District 5870 Central Texas set a goal of donating as much as we can to the Rotary Foundation’s Polio Plus Fund this year. This year, we introduced the PIES FOR POLIO CHALLENGE to help build awareness for our fight to end polio. Club members around central Texas have been taking the challenge! See the Video.
Shout out to the following clubs are taking the challenge: Rotary Club of Marble Falls, Cameron Rotary, Rotary Club of Austin NxNE, Northwest Austin Rotary, Cedar-Park Leander Rotary, Austin North Metro Passport Rotary, Rotary Club of Taylor, Temple Rotary, Rotary Club of Marlin, Round Rock Rotary, Round Rock Sunrise Rotary, Waco Sunrise Rotary and Rotary Club of Caldwell.
 
YTD Polio giving by the district is $48,165 - This is 72.6% of goal compared to 56.52% of last year's total giving. 12 clubs have already exceeded their prior year total contribution.
 
We would like to challenge  every member become a member of the Polio Plus Society.  That requires you to give at least $100 per year to polio.  Imagine, if each member of our clubs would give $115, that would total $250,000 which would save the lives of 83,333 children!
