💛 A CALL TO SERVICE: TOGETHER, WE CAN HELP END POLIO 🌍

As president of the Scranton Rotary Club and a proud member of Rotary District 7410, I am honored to serve alongside a tremendous group of volunteers dedicated to giving back. These are people who give their time, energy, and hearts to help others, often quietly and without expecting recognition.

Being part of this organization means a great deal to me. But everything we accomplish depends on teamwork—and on people like you who continue to show up and support our mission. We could not do this without you.

Right now, our Rotary raffle baskets are on display at Cooper’s Seafood House, 701 North Washington Avenue, Scranton. If you’re stopping in, please take a look, purchase tickets at the host desk, and enter for a chance to win. Funds raised support polio education and Rotary’s ongoing work to eradicate polio worldwide.

🎟️ Raffle tickets: $5 for 10 | $10 for 26 | $20 for 60

🍺 Pints for Polio — Saturday, October 24
Cooper’s will donate 25% of the proceeds from every pint of Cooper’s craft brews purchased that day to support Rotary’s polio eradication efforts.

🏆 Basket drawing: October 24 at 8 p.m.

Every ticket purchased and every person who shares this message helps move our mission forward. Please consider supporting, bring a friend, and help us turn community generosity into worldwide impact.

To our volunteers, donors, Cooper’s, and everyone supporting this effort: thank you for making this work possible.

If you’d like to learn more, please reach out. I would love to share our mission with you.

Service Above Self. Together, we can help end polio.
