District Governor Tina Curtis Visits East Moline–Silvis Rotary

The East Moline–Silvis Rotary Club was pleased to welcome District Governor Tina Curtis this week. Tina recognized and complimented our Club for the positive impact we are making in our community and challenged us to continue looking beyond our own backyard to make a difference in the world. She highlighted Rotary’s more than 40-year commitment to eradicating polio and encouraged members to support the World’s Largest Polio Walk on October 24, which our Club is helping sponsor. Participating in the walk—and encouraging others to join us—is a meaningful way for our Club to put Service Above Self into action and help Rotary reach the goal of a polio-free world.
