In my local community, we get together every week to have a great lunch at an exclusive hotel downtown. We do lots of amazing projects. I know you know about our End Polio work. But we do lots of great work locally as well. We start out each year by pulling together a committee. This year their committee members included an RPIC, a DMC, and a DGE and we figured out a way to raise money throughout the year so we can maximize DDF. This year we raised more money than we ever have and won the Club of the Year Award. Our members are very active in the community and are so proud of the work we do…we believe we are making a big impact!
