In case you didn't know, today October 24th is World Polio Day. There's a great newsletter out to the district that shares the beautiful story of two members of the Wilshire of LA Rotary Club who were able to realize their bucket list wish to give Polio drops to a young child. Definitely give it a read.
Today Oct. 24th is World Polio Day
Thank You For Your Blood!
A big thank you to all members who showed up to give blood last Friday at the blood drive. You are appreciated! We also had a board meeting but I'm afraid the contents of that meeting are strictly privileged information. Moving on.
