Adding a picture to your profile also helps others get to know you. Some of you may notice that your profile pictures have now been added.
 
Also, for some members, a biography has been added to their profile. Those are the Meet the Member articles that you have sent to me.

Today is World Polio Day

Apologies for a late bulletin. A solid week of meetings will do that.

Polio Timeline

Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 30 years. Since 1979, we have vaccinated more than 2.5 billion children. But we haven't done it alone. Here is a timeline for our partnerships:
 
Donate to PolioPlus this month. World Polio Day is October 24. To make it easy to donate, look for the Event on the left. Here’s a video you can post on your Facebook page https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dWEMB-RgA0&feature=em-subs_digest

Notes

Mark in your makeups as soon as you get this bulletin.
 
Quarterly dues should have been paid as of October 1.
 
Look for pictures of the Youth Now visit on the club Facebook page.
 

Board members

Welcome to our newest Director. Len Goddard has accepted to become Director of Service Projects. Even though we are not directly involved in a club project, individuals can take part in anything that other clubs are doing. So far, we’ve assisted with parking at the Williamstown fair, the Brockville golf tournament, selling mums, and perhaps soon selling calendars. Len will be in touch about that.
 

Agenda items for Board meeting

Our next online Board meeting is tomorrow, Wednesday, October 25 at 7:00 pm https://www.gotomeet.me/Rotary7040 . Of course, anyone is welcome to attend. If you have items that you want on the agenda, contact Ariane.

Resources to meet RI President Riseley’s tree-planting challenge
President Ian Riseley challenges all 1.2 million Rotarians to plant a tree before Earth Day, 22 April 2018. The Environmental Sustainability Rotarian Action Group has compiled inspirational ideas and helpful tips to aid clubs in meeting the challenge. 

Consider working with the Food Plant Solutions Rotarian Action Group to identify edible plants with the greatest nutritional value for the region where you wish to plant trees. The group can help your club and district understand the connection between plant selection and nutrition, while meeting Riseley’s tree-planting challenge.
 
There is still time for us to plant a tree before the snow flies.
