As in year’s past it would be wonderful if you would bring your club banners to hang over the railings on the back of the motor inn. We have revised the registration sheet so that you can add all who are coming to cheer you on. So, if you are the only member of your club plunging, but you are bringing 5 members/friends/family with you, please go back into the following link and re-register your club. Clubs can register their participation by clicking here. Currently, we have approximately 100 Rotarians, Interactors and friends coming to the beach.
Donations to this year’s Polar Plunge are being directly made through the donate button in MyRotary or through your club’s Foundation Chair. Once a club has donated a minimum of $1500 it qualifies them to receive the End Polio Now Certificate from Rotary International. Last year only four clubs in our district reached that benchmark. I’m pleased to say that the top five clubs below have already surpassed that level. Let’s try to get our District back to more participation throughout the clubs.
Year to date we have raised $29,900.01 of our $100,000 goal. There are still 20 clubs in the district who have not started making their donations to Polio through MyRotary. We cannot count donations and add your club to the list, if your club doesn’t record them through RI.
