🌟 Impact Club Update
Meeting: Tuesday, October 28 at 6:00 PM
📍 Rotary Club of Clayton Community Room, Food Bank of NE Georgia
All are welcome — bring a guest and help grow our Impact Club!
The Rotary Club of Clayton Impact Club is open to everyone. It shares the “Unite for Good” philosophy but offers a more flexible schedule — early evening meetings, work first, eat later, and plenty of service opportunities. Join the hardworking “Service Above Self” Rotarians every second and fourth Tuesday of the month!
🔄 Recap from Last Week
We had a fantastic presentation from Robert Hall about Rotary International’s ongoing mission to END POLIO NOW.
Polio remains endemic in remote regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan, but with continued vaccinations, eradication is within reach. Robert explained that every dollar donated right now becomes six dollars through matching donations from the Gates Foundation and generous Rotarians worldwide.
Our Club raised $555.00 during the meeting — which means $3,330.00 for the Polio Plus campaign!
