Thanks also to DGE Harry Buddle for taking shots on goal and for the Rotarians who raised the END POLIO NOW signs and managed the iron lung and passed out information on Rotary and Polio campaign.
WOW!! what a great evening! what a phenomenal team of volunteers! A huge thank you to all of you for helping ensure that this evening unfolded as tremendously as it did (and Dan I don't have Andy's email but pls pass on my thanks to him as well and Randy pls pass on a thanks to the PR folks you rounded up to help as Greeters etc., great job!). And we may have to start a petition to get Cody a raise for all he did that was way above the call of duty.
It was truly heart-warming to see how Rotary Clubs were able to jump on board with this and take this to a whole different level. When I collect all the stories of some of the neat stuff clubs did I will share that with you so you too can enjoy the evidence of Service Above Self.
We had 16 Rotary Clubs get involved and 505 Rotarians and/or their guests at the game. And the best part is we raised some significant $$ for the "End Polio Now" as well as building valuable awareness of that program and Rotary.
It will be interesting to see how this evening looks "on film" - could Hollywood be next? I hear that Universal Studios is looking to make another Mighty Ducks hockey movie and are looking for just the right person to cast as the goalie ... hmm, anyone think of who we might recommend?
I can hardly wait to see what we can do next year ... you good with that DGE Harry?
It's nights like this that truly makes me proud to be a Rotarian!
