Community Calendar

Harry Fuehrer Community Service Award

The Strongsville Rotary Foundation is soliciting nominations for this year's Harry Fuehrer Community Service Award. The Harry Fuehrer Annual Community Service Award recognizes an individual or couple who has/have provided exemplary community service to Strongsville over an extended period.  Applications can be downloaded online, or ask for one from John Turnbull or Ashley Gay at the meeting.  Nominations are due by October 27th.
 

World Polio Day (Donuts)

World Polio Day is October 24th.  Rotary District 6630 is teaming up with local Dunkin’ franchisees to raise awareness and money to help eradicate polio by selling purple frosted donuts.
 
Why Purple Donuts?  In countries where the threat of polio remains, children still receive their vaccine by mouth.  When vaccinating millions of children in a short period of time it is impossible to document so every child has the little fingernail of their left hand marked with purple ink that lasts for 30 days to ensure they only receive one dose.
 
Donuts must be ordered by the dozen by the 17th for pickup on the 24th.  The Dunkin' on Pearl Rd in Strongsville is participating.  Donuts can be ordered online, or if you want to pay John Turnbull tomorrow he can order them and drop them off at your office (in the Strongsville area) on the 24th.  They are $20 a dozen.

Speaker

Our speaker was the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  They will be the primary beneficiary of the Chili Open, and through the Student Visionaries program will be helping to promote the event and sell raffle tickets.
 
You may remember McCalister Klinzing who was a junior at Strongsville High School and a candidate for LLS Student Visionary of the Year who visited our club at the beginning of the year talking about the program, and his goal to raise $75,000.  There are at least two candidates from Strongsville again this year, and the goal for LLS is to have over 400 team members raising over $1 million.
 
We also heard from Tim Tusick from Strongsville, who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and received support and services from LLS, and is know fully cured, and an advocate for LLS.
