Cheryl Kirby-Stokes came up with the idea of Petal the Polio Pig. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has pledged $100 million for the world fight against polio but it is a matching grant and over the next two years Rotary has to raise a matching amount. Cheryl's idea was for our members to put into the pig our pocket change each week so that over the next two years we can raise a substantial amount. Cheryl reports that so far we are off to a good start.
