Dear Rotary Friends:
Greetings from Evanston on a near perfect autumn afternoon.
I write to inform you that next month, during the traditional celebration of November as Rotary Foundation month, our General Secretary, John Hewko, and his wife, Marga, will participate in a unique fundraising project for polio eradication, Rotary’s number one priority. John and Marga will participate in a 111-mile bike ride in Tucson, Arizona, USA. The El Tour de Tucson is a top US cycling event and will draw more than 9,000 participants. I ask you to consider supporting John and Marga as they lead by example in this physically demanding endeavor. I would also ask that you make Rotarians in your area aware of this Ride to End Polio. Please log into Member Access here, which will give you the option to contribute to GS Hewko – Ride to End Polio. All contributions will receive Paul Harris Fellow recognition credit. Clubs and districts will be credited for these polio contributions.
Two years ago, many of you generously supported me when I ran the Milwaukee Marathon as a fundraiser for polio eradication. Now I ask you to support our General Secretary and his wife. John and Marga are diligently training for this event, so let’s show them how much we appreciate their efforts. Please join me in making a gift in support of Rotary’s top goal: a polio-free world.
Best regards,
John T. Osterlund
General Manager
