That’s how we’ll build stronger clubs and move toward our 2030 goal: reaching 1.25 million Rotarians and retaining at least 125,000 Rotaractors.
As of September 30, 2026, the total amount of cash and promises from Rotarians in District 5370 is $340,135USD. This new total is an increase of $19,905USD from 102 donors in September. Thank you!
Health workers cross mountains, rivers, and difficult terrain to deliver polio vaccines.
Join the #TeamEndPolio Challenge on Strava and help reach 60 million minutes of movement before World Polio Day. Every minute you move is a minute in solidarity with the health workers who never stop.
October concentrates on community growth. Club members work to strengthen local entrepreneurs and community leaders, particularly women, in our impoverished communities.
Consider the following actions to sustain economic development:
Identify groups or areas in your community that are economically disadvantaged.
Invite a speaker to better understand this issue.
Identify projects to address those needs
Looking for ideas for a FUNdraiser for PolioPlus?
Consider Pumpkins for Polio!
A Club sponsored pumpkin carving fellowship event, auctioning off or selling the finished masterpieces and donating the proceeds to the Miss Vicky 2027 Challenge for PolioPlus to increase your giving impact. Consider inviting or supporting an Interact or Rotaract Club to share the fun. Add a learning element to build understanding of why we care.
