CALLICOON, NY (October 8, 2011) – For the past 3 years the Livingston Manor and Liberty Rotary clubs have teamed up to raise money for Rotary International’s Polio Eradication Campaign.
This year the two clubs will be holding their 4th Annual Polio Eradication Campaign Dinner on Saturday, October 29 at the Villa Roma Country Club. The evening will begin at 6:00 p.m. with a cash bar followed by a buffet dinner at 7:00 p.m..
The clubs will be honoring long-time Livingston Manor Rotarian and respected community member Lee Siegel, who has actively supported Rotary International’s efforts to rid the world of polio. Siegel has also been involved with numerous other international, regional and local community projects.
The evening will also feature a spectacular silent auction that will benefit the Polio Eradication Campaign.
Rotary is a volunteer service organization of 1.2 million men and women worldwide who made a commitment to immunize the world’s children against polio in 1985 and became a spearheading partner in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative three years later. The other partners are the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and UNICEF. Rotary’s primary responsibilities include fundraising, advocacy and volunteer recruitment. To date, rotary has already contributed more than $800 million to the polio eradication effort.
