HOW TO DONATE TO ERADICATE POLIO NOW
Our Marblehead Harbor Rotary has set a goal to raise and contribute
$500 to this remarkable effort.
The world-wide effort to end polio is one of Rotary's signature international projects and something we can all be part of and proud of.
Today, only two countries are still fighting polio:
Pakistan and Afghanistan. Some cases have prsented themselves in Gaza.
Donations and our support are still needed.
Here are two ways you can make your donation:
1. You can mail your donation via a check through the club. Make out your check to Rotary International with Polio Plus on the memo line. Then mail your check ot our club at Rotary Club of Marblehead Harbor, P.O. Box 941, Marblehead, MA 01945. Our bookkeeper will forward it to Rotary International along with Polio Plus Donations from the club itself and from fellow individual members.
2. Or, you can send a check directly to Rotary International, with Polio Plus Fund in the memo line. That address is 14280 Collections Center Drive, Chicago, IL 60693.
