Welcome New Polio Plus Members
The Rotary Club of Andover is proud to recognize five members who have recently joined the Polio Plus Society: Rich Rainville, Peter Caruso, Don Gottfried, Tamara Lindsay, and Ann Ormond. Each has made a meaningful commitment to Rotary’s global effort to eradicate polio by pledging to contribute $100 every Rotary fiscal year, by October, in support of life-saving vaccinations.

While tremendous progress has been made, polio has not yet been eliminated. Cases are still being reported in regions such as Sudan, Gaza, and Ukraine, underscoring the importance of sustained commitment and support.

These new members join a dedicated group within our club already participating in the Polio Plus Society, including Jean Leider, Al Timm, Gail Ralston, Mark Spencer, Elaine Clements, Sheryl Meehan, and Jim Greeley. Their collective efforts reflect the spirit of Rotary’s promise to end polio worldwide.

Together, we move closer to a future where no child suffers from this preventable disease.

FUN
SOCK
FRI-YAY

On the first Friday of each month, our club adds a little extra fun with “Fun Sock Friday,” inviting members and guests to show off their most creative and colorful socks in a friendly competition.

This month’s winner was Jim Greeley, whose socks featured the smiling faces of his adorable grandchildren—a choice that was hard to beat! Congratulations, Jim, on your winning style.
