Today we met Nancy and Colleen at their pitstop in Milwaukee. Fittingly, we were just about 500 yards north of the Milwaukee Mile, and had the roar of race engines as a backdrop to our meet and greet. They are wonderful Rotarians, and excited about their journey to Calgary.
There were five clubs from District 6270 represented, and photos were taken for social media. AND, we had real media there also, as CBS58 photojournalist Scott DePuy was there to do interviews and shoot background. Keep an eye on channel 58 for upcoming coverage.
We also learned that previously made donations to PolioPlus can be designated to this fundraiser. If you are interested, contact polioplus@rotary6270.org for information.
The Torch Tour will be passing through D6270 on its way to Minneapolis on June 10th. We will meet the team at the State Fair Park n Ride in West Allis between 12:30 and 1:30 on the 10th to help spread the word about their trip and raise money for PolioPlus.
This fundraising page has been established to help them reach their goal of $1 Million raised by the time they get to Calgary and the Rotary International Convention.
We encourage you to participate and donate to this page. By making your contribution and submitting your information, not only will the Torch Tour get recognition for the contribution, but D6270, your club, and you individually will receive Paul Harris recognition points towards your next Paul Harris Award.
