The Motorcycle Ride for Polio is Sunday, Sept 17. You don't need a motorcycle to join. Some people will be seeing us off, some will join at the end, and some will be riding interesting cars of all kinds. Check the District website for all the details.
Did you know that your happy and sad bucks help the club make a donation to the Rotary Foundation?

Our speaker at our last meeting was President Joe Livingston, who spoke about his goal and vision for his Rotary year. Joe's motivation is the Rotary motto of "Service Above Self." He would like to find some community projects that Rotarians are already involved in and lend the support of Rotarians to these worthy causes. In addition to finding worthy causes to put the Rotary name and effort behind, President Joe would like to get the Rotary symbol out there more and promote all the work that we do more widely in the community. Joe is open to discussing ideas with anyone and everyone who wants to be involved and is excited about what the upcoming year will bring.
At our upcoming meeting on Thursday, September 15, Rich Volkmann is our Program Chair. Rich has arranged for Lori & Cory Palazzi to present to us. They are representing Cory's Cause, which was was founded in 2016 after Cory Palazzi suffered a Heroin Overdose in 2013 which left him permanently disabled. A 501-C3 non-profit organization, their goal goal is to help families by sharing Cory's story in the hopes of educating individuals and their families about drug addiction and providing support and resources for treatment.
