Seattle Mariners have designated their July 3rd game night against the St. Louis Cardinals as “End Polio Night”! Special blocks of seats have been set aside and a portion of the ticket proceeds and additional funding will go towards the fight to end polio…estimated proceeds for the evening are over $30,000! And, this will be matched 2:1 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation!
Some other fun things about the evening:
- Our own and Rotary International’s Vice President, John Matthews, will be throwing out the first ball!
- Following the game, there will be fireworks presented by T-Mobile!
A lot of work has gone into this by our own district PolioPlus
Committee Chair, Steve Crane, and a host of others. I encourage you to get the
word out to your club members, families and friends and support this great
event and the fight to end polio. Tickets are $25 each for View Level and
$45 each for Main Level seating and are only available on line at Mariners.com/Polio<http://Mariners.com/Polio>.

University Sunrise is again selling poinsettias and wreaths. This is an excellent opportunity to provide poinsettias for your office, home, and gifts to neighbors. Our club keeps part of every sale. This has been an excellent and important fundraiser for the club.
