District 5840 is getting ready to walk for a polio-free world! On October 24, Rotarians, family members and friends will gather at beautiful Enchanted Rock to participate in the World’s Largest Polio Walk and support Rotary’s mission to End Polio Now.

And this year, we have something special to help us show our Rotary spirit—a special District 5840 T-shirt created specifically for the World’s Largest Polio Walk!

San Marcos helped to raise $2,500 for the U.S. Veterans Service Dog (USVSD) program in September. Kyle VFW Post 12058 hosted a telethon to fund the training and placement of service dogs for veterans in Texas. Rotary agreed to provide $1,250 as a match for individual donations up to $1,250. 

Across the district, Rotary clubs are raising a glass—and raising awareness—for a world without polio! Pints for Polio events bring Rotarians, friends, family and community members together for a little fun and a powerful purpose: helping Rotary finish the fight to end polio. Check out the upcoming Pints for Polio events in the graphic above and join a club near you! 🍺 Go out, raise a pint, and help raise funds to End Polio Now!
