Findlay Flag City Morning Rotary

08/28/2026

One of Rotary’s missions has been to eradicate polio throughout the world. This quarter, our club will be donating money to that cause. Together, we can make a difference in our world and the safety of our children.

Every spring, thousands of tulips bloom across Europe. Some of them carry a special message.

For more than a decade, Rotary members in the Netherlands have sold End Polio Now tulip bulbs, transforming a beloved national symbol into a means of supporting End Polio Now 💛

One flower at a time, they're helping create a healthier future for children everywhere 🌷

Sheriff Mike Cortez and his wife, Amy, shared information about Code Forty 4, a proactive program launched in 2020 supporting personal wellness for officers. Code Forty 4 means “officer needs help”. Officers go through 800-900 traumatic incidents in their lifetime. Mental health support and self-care is critical to helping them cope.

Amy shared that she left the corporate world after recognizing the need for resources for families in addition to the officers. She shared the importance not only to support the officers but also to help families deal with a loss and to recognize the impact the job has on law enforcement.
