No Rotary Meeting - President’s Day

From BRUCE MCNEAL
By: Cynthia Green

As the representative from Rotary District 6880, I have the privilege of joining 25 other Rotarians from around the country, on February 13th , to travel to Caborca, Mexico to participate in an international Immunization Day where we will be administering Polio drops to children in the surrounding villages.Also, multiple Rotary Districts are joining hands again this year in our “Heart to Heart” global grant project where District 6880 will be donating a $1,000 toward this this year’s Global project.Another element during this humanitarian trip is to support the Caborca Children’s Medical Fund.Over the years we have seen children who have benefitted that have had crippling physical deformities corrected, lifesaving surgery, and debilitating allergies diagnosed and treated among many other medical services and treatments provided.We have been asked to seek donations from our local Clubs and community to support this effort.I will be personally presenting our donations directly to representatives of the Caborca Children’s Fund. If you would like to support this cause, write your check to Dr. Martin L. Mendez and on the memo line write The Caborca Children’s Medical Fund.Cash will also be accepted. For more information, feel free to call Bruce McNeal 334-791-8921 or email dgmcneal2022@gmail.com
