Grand Island Rotary will be hosting the 2024 Participate for Polio on the District 7090 USA side of the border this year.  We are looking to host up to 35 participants who will be raising funds for Ending Polio.  Back your favorite person to raise funds that will eliminate this disease once and for all.

We will be getting an update on Family Justice Center work here on Grand Island.  They have expanded the children's corner and have added a clothing closet. 

They need new clothes for our clothes pantry. We are currently in need of black leggings or sweats in sizes xs-xxxl and black or grey t-shirts and hoodies in sizes xs-XXXL. Can you help? Please email kelly@fjcsafe.org to contribute or visit our wishlist https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3E20ZYYFESMRI?leftNavSection=Reorder&ref_=abls_lnv_rl

Dress for the weather and comfortable boots.  We will start at the Kaegebein parking lot with locations divided amoung teams to pick up the 2.3 miles of trail and highway right of way.  Keep track of the collection and they will be weighted to add to the town and Rotary District total.  If you have pickers bring them, there will be some for those who do not have them.

Grab a beverage in the Welcome Center Cafe and join us in the Conference room.
