   About Polio
The mission of The Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty. 

An original goal of Rotary was to allow club members to meet periodically and enlarge their circle of business and professional acquaintances. As members of the oldest service club in the world, Rotarians represent a cross-section of their community’s business owners, executives, managers, political leaders, and professionals – people who make decisions and influence policy.

To facilitate this event, we held a community symposium which will investigagte:
1. the current range of services available to address literacy--children and families;
2. the current needs that are not being met;
3. the resources need to address those unmet needs; nad
4. ways that Rotary can initiate community collaboration now and in the future to meet one or more of these unmet needs.

Panelists include: Susan J. McCardle, Joan Holliday, Janine Pressloid, Katheleen McLaughlin

December 16 2008:Annual Holiday Party with Dinner, holiday cheer. Consider a cash donation that we will convert to food gift cards for local children and their families in Kennett Square who go without food on a daily basis and/or bring in your barely used, new shoes that are hiding in the back of your closet. Please consider to add $1 per shoe to help defray costs.

The shoes will be shipped to Soles 4 Souls from where shoes are shipped around the world to people too poor to have any or people surviving natural disasters
