Here's your a reminder to get your donations and get fit for 2024! It’s up to you to make the difference for the children of the world, so let’s do this together! 

 

Time to get moving, put on those new exercise outfits and sneakers, and let’s all make some healthy New Year’s resolutions, and raise some serious funds for the eradication of polio! You can choose your own dates, so no excuse about scheduling!

 

How do you move: (@$25-$50 per hour?)

Clean your house; food shop; yoga or exercise class; ride a bike; ski (if you can find snow); Polar Plunge alone or with a group; join in one of the district events; use your imagination – anything goes!

 

How do you raise donations: 

Ask family members; ask club members; ask co-workers; support yourself

Either set up a Raise For Rotary page or collect $$/checks and have your club send to Rotary End Polio.

 

District Events so far:

We have had to start a new Facebook Page.  Our original Page is currently out of commission.  We ask all Rotarians and friends to Like and Follow our new Page.

 

Meta has taken down our original Page.  We do not know what for.  They didn’t inform us what the flagged posting was.  This has been happening over the Rotary world.  We caution all of you to be careful what you post on your club Facebook Pages.

 

Issues which can cause problems include copyright issues and references to gambling.  Don’t use images, music or other IP that you don’t own.  If you borrow a picture from the internet, it may cause a problem.  Fundraisers that Meta may interpret as gambling (casino nights, raffles, etc.) may cause you to get snared in the FB AI net.

Yes!  Polio still exists, which can severely disable children and is not curable.  Vaccinations prevent Polio.  Rotary has significantly contributed to eradicating Polio in 99.9% of the world.  Unless we eradicate polio, within 10 years, as many as 200,000 new cases could occur around the world each year. In the past few years, only two countries have reported cases of polio caused by the wild virus, but no child anywhere is safe until we’ve vaccinated every child.

 

Click and sign up to reserve your activities and times at the Ipswich YMCA.   Thank you to the Ipswich YMCA for donating the space for this important fundraiser. If you are not a member, please bring your entrance fee payable to Ipswich Rotary Trust or in cash.

Ipswich High School Interact leaders of the 2023 Jingle Bell Walk met with Ipswich-Rowley Rotarians last week to announce the revenue from their event, Jingle Bell Walk, nearly doubled from the previous year. They were on hand to present Ipswich Caring with a check for $1,500. Additional proceeds will fund their micro loan projects with Kiva.

 

For more than 40 years, non-profit Ipswich Caring has assisted Ipswich families in need. With the help of over 200 volunteers, "Ipswich Caring provides financial and in-kind support to youth, adults and families through a variety of programs and services." Like Rotary, this group is dedicated to Service Above Self.
