We're THIS close to ending polio forever! Let's keep the momentum going and make polio history 🩵
Rotary Club Of West Ottawa Rotary District 7040

💙 Foundation Friday 💙

Rotary’s commitment to ending polio is one of the greatest humanitarian efforts in history. Rotary and its partners have helped protect over 3 billion children in 122 countries from polio, and have contributed more than $2.9 billion.

Regular Foundation giving helps keep this promise alive until polio is eradicated for good.

This winter, I'm joining the Rotary Club Of West Ottawa in the Coldest Night of the Year walk.

We’re walking in solidarity with neighbours facing homelessness, hunger, and hardship; because service doesn’t stop when it’s cold.

Chag Urim Sameach to those celebrating the Festival of Lights ❤️🕎 It was a terrible day for Jewish communities around the world today - and for decent humans everywhere. May your light shine through the darkness and may you find joy with those you love.

Chag Sameach to our friends, neighbours, and community members. May this Festival of Lights bring warmth, joy, and moments of peace to you and your loved ones. 🕎✨
