Membership

Howard introduced DG Jim Gruber. This year's theme is Make Dreams Real. DG Jim's dreams are about health, water, literacy, and hunger. He would like each club to sponsor a food drive for their local community. Some clubs might want to work with the local Boy Scout Troup. India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Nigeria are the countries left with polio. Some clubs are using the Purple Pinkies for Polio Plus Program. Each member gets a pinkie painted purple, and donates $.60 which is the cost for one vial of polio vaccine. DG Jim also talked about membership. His goal is to have 400 people attend the District Conference in the Pocono's. Out club presented DG Jim with a $50.00 donation to help make dreams real.
