A wild and furry crew of Rotarians and friends planted perennials in the sensory gardens at Praying Hands Ranch in October. The Rotary Club of Parker has a long-standing relationship with the ranch, a therapeutic riding center. The plants were all donated by Tagawa Gardens -- thank you so much!
Rotary has partnered with organizations around the world since 1988 in an attempt to completely eradicate the disease polio from the world. We have gotten tantalizingly close, but the last push is going to take an all-out effort for a few more years. The October 2022 issue of Rotary magazine has an excellent article summarizing the progress that we have made and explaining some of the recent stumbling blocks that have cropped up. But Rotary maintains its commitment to pursuing the achievable goal of eradicating polio completely.
One of the best ways YOU can contribute to this effort is by making a donation to PolioPlus. The attached chart presented by Mike Oldham and John Huffaker from Rotary magazine shows how the funds have been used. District 5450 has gone a step further by encouraging all of us to join the PolioPlus Society, committing to donate $100 a year until the world is certified polio-free by the World Health Organization.

Parker Uncorked went splendidly well, particularly for our first outing. If you were not able to attend the event in person, click here to view a slide show with some highlights.
Thank you to Michael Graham-Hyde and Alex Doyle for your work to get this inaugural fundraiser going. And thank you to all of the Rotarians who pitched in, either through volunteering or through sponsoring.
