What a powerful article! Our own Sheree Logemann Fukai chairs the District Grant Committee. Check out the great work clubs in our district are doing with matching grants that start with gifts to the Rotary International Foundation.

A child in Eagle County will carry a bright red bag of books home to read with her family. A family escaping domestic violence in Pueblo will walk into a freshly cleaned and furnished place to stay. On a bitter winter night in Durango, someone without shelter will have a ride from the transit center...

Today’s the day!

This World Polio Day,
What If Every One of Us Gave $20?

Every Rotarian. Every Club. Just $20.

On October 24, World Polio Day, Rotarians across our district have an opportunity to make a big impact with just $20.

Imagine every Rotarian, in every club, giving $20 on the same day. One small gift multiplied across our district becomes something extraordinary.

Every member. Every club. Twenty dollars. One promise. End polio.

On World Polio Day, make your $20 gift to Rotary's PolioPlus Fund. Then challenge another Rotarian to join you.

Together, we can turn $20 into something much bigger: a future without polio.

And someday, when the final case of polio is recorded, each of us can proudly say:
I was part of it.

So great to have HCPETS on this side of the continental divide this year! What a great location.

High Country PETS:
Save the date,
April 1-3, 2027

Join us at the Hotel Colorado in Glenwood Springs for "Three days to connect, learn and inspire” We hope to open registration in late fall. Look for an official announcement.

The committee hopes to begin this inspiring weekend with a special AG Training on Thursday afternoon, April 1st, followed by a Meet and Greet! at the Glenwood Springs Art Center.

High Country PETS will officially begin at lunchtime on Friday, April 2nd. The committee is working on looking at opening up some time for each district to meet on Friday morning and/or Sunday morning. The schedule is still in process.

Mark your calendar! If you have questions, please call or email DGE Barb Bowman, 970-261-1052 or [email protected].

How does a $20 bill make $7500 in impact? Let’s meet the challenge together. If every Rotarian in our club donates $20 on this Sat, Oct 24th, that would mean $125 x $20 = $2500. With the 2:1 match from the bill Gates Foundation it becomes $7500 to fight polio by vaccinating kids BEFORE they contract the disease.

Hope still grows when people act.

A $20 donation to PolioPlus helps protect children and keeps hope alive for a future free from polio.

Rotary International World Polio Day is coming October 24th. Our Rotary District 5470 Foundation Chair Maile Foster has challenged every Rotarian in D5470 to give $20 on World Polio Day. Your donation is matched by the Bill Gates Foundation 2:1, so your $20 becomes $60 in the fight to end polio worldwide.
