World Polio Day 2018

Wednesday, October 24th, 2018 is World Polio Day. Join us at any of the four Sheboygan County Culver's Restaurants to help End Polio Now.

Rotary members in Sheboygan County are among millions reaching out on World Polio Day to raise awareness, funds, and support to end polio – a vaccine preventable disease that still threatens children in parts of the world today.

Please join us at any of the four Sheboygan County Culver’s on Oct. 24 from 4-8 pm to help in the effort to eradicate polio. Culver’s has agreed to donate 50% of their proceeds to the End Polio Now effort.

How can you triple your impact? Thanks to a 2-to-1 match from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, every donation made to Rotary to end polio will be tripled.

Since Rotary and its partners launched the Global Polio Eradication Initiative nearly 30 years ago, the incidence of polio has plummeted by more than 99.9 percent, from about 350,000 cases a year to just 22 cases in 2017.

Join us at all Sheboygan & Plymouth Culver’s from 4 - 8 pm on Wednesday, October 24.

In case you needed any more reason to dine at Culver's on October 24, here is the Flavor Forecast for all four locations:

Washington Ave. Sheboygan - Peanut Butter Cookie Dough

South Taylor Dr. Sheboygan - Mint Oreo

Highway 42 Sheboygan - Rocky Road

Eastern Ave. Plymouth - Crazy for Cookie Dough

2018 District Governor Visit

Andrew Bubb, Kola Alayande, and Kristin Stearns Rotary District 6270 Governor Kola Alayande and Assistant Governor Kristin Stearns visited the Early Bird Rotary Club on July 12, 2018.

We showcased our club's service projects, and had a great discussion and feedback on how we can make our club even stronger in 2018-19.

After the club and board meetings concluded, we took a tour of the Red Raider Manufacturing lab at North High School. The Early Bird Rotary Club has made a $50,000 commitment over five years to the program.

Red Raider Manufacturing represents a partnership between Sheboygan Area School District, local manufacturing companies, and Lakeshore Technical College, who are working together to educate a stronger community.

This career pathway represents a collaborative effort to better prepare high school students for college and careers and to provide more skilled workers to local manufacturers.
