In the spirit of service above self, several members of the Joliet Rotary Club participated in the Easter Seals 17th Annual Celebration of Giving Telethon.  The live local broadcast highlighting local talent, Easter Seals direct service to children and adults with disabilities, and staff, volunteers and supporters, generated more than $190,000. 

Thanks to Michelle Cottrell, Rich Hagen, Kathyrn Brand who joined Debbie Condotti on the Rotary VIP Phone Team. Additionally, Larry Johnson served as a show host, and Ed Dollinger and John Spesia were show sponsors. Rotarians and their friends responded by contributing a total of $2,825 toward a goal of $3,000. 

Easter Seals founding father and Rotarian Edgar Allen defined the nature of Easter Seals’ work and the people who contribute their time, talent and treasure when he said, “Your life and mine shall be valued not by what we take, but by what we give.”
