Rotary Moment
Our Rotary moment today was the story about Raffy Chouljian ADG District 7070 and Jennifer Boyd President of RC Don Mills along with other Rotarians climbed Mt Kilimanjaro to raise funds for Polio Plus.
As the sun came up on June 25, Jennifer Boyd, Ryan Fogarty and I reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. It was the culmination of a year of planning, training, and fundraising. We conquered Kilimanjaro and raised $500,000 to help Rotary International eradicate polio.
