Help support Rotary International's fight against polio by donating today!
Please join Parkville Rotary and consider donating for the eradication of Polio. For every $100 that is raised prior to October 24th, our district will match that with an additional $100.
Rotary International will then match with an extra $50 bringing that total to $250. The Gates Foundation will then match and double that amount bringing the grand total for each $100 raised to be $750 for Polio Plus!
Across the district and within all of Rotary International being a Paul Harris Fellow is meaningful. It signifies that you support The Rotary Foundation, its causes and the work it funds around the world.
So, are you interested in becoming a Paul Harris Fellow?
Well, we have a program this year that can help you get there a little faster. I'll be sharing various incentives throughout the Rotary Year.
The first incentive for Rotary Year 2023-24 is:
Register and attend the Foundation Hoop-la
Receive 100 bonus Paul Harris Fellow Recognition Points.
This is only available for registrations made by September 30. So register TODAY!
You have already received plenty of information about Hoop-la, but here is the link again! bit.ly/23hooplaregister
I look forward to celebrating The Rotary Foundation and all the accomplishments of our district at the District 6040 Foundation Hoop-La on November 4th with you!
Email AmyKCV@gmail.com once you have attended Hoop-la. Bonus points will be awarded in December to Rotarians who have provided proof of qualifying activities.

The Parkville Rotary Club is signed up to volunteer at the Salvation Army Kettle Ringing on December 9th, from 4-6:30 at the Hy-Vee at 5330 NW 64th St., Kansas City, MO 64151.
This is a great cause and we hope to see you. We will have a sign-up sheet for 45 minute shifts - if you can't stay for the entire time. Please be on the lookout for the sign-up sheet in a future email/at our club meetings.
What Happens When You Ring
Each year, The Salvation Army will serve more than 25 million people across America – including many here in your community. That means 55+ million meals for the hungry, 10+ million nights of shelter for the homeless, and countless Christmas gifts for children who may otherwise go without.
So truly, you can make a difference with every ring. The funds you raise as a Salvation Army bell ringer will make a year-round impact in your community through social services assistance, homeless shelters, disaster relief, children’s programs, rehabilitation services, anti-human trafficking, and more.
Donations in the red kettle stay local – directly impacting the lives of your neighbors by helping them in their time of need. When you ring the bell, you’re making change happen.
