Finish the Fight for Global Polio Eradication
 
Help Finish the Fight for Global Polio Eradication by joining with nine other Rotary Clubs in the southwest region of District 6450. This is a family-friendly event to raise awareness and funds for the eradication of polio.  >> Download flyer here.
The Rotary Clubs of Bolingbrook, Channahon/Minooka, Joliet, Lemont-Homer Glen, Lockport, Morris, New Lenox, Plainfield, Romeoville and Shorewood are hosting this event with the Joliet Slammers at Silver Cross Field on Saturday, June 4, 2016.  We are predicting a large turnout of Rotarians, families and friends -- the stadium holds 5000+.  
 
The night will include a pre-game reception, baseball game, silent auction, and a host of activities.  Rotarians will perform the national anthem and lead the 7th inning stretch. The night will end with a fabulous fireworks display.  Most importantly, all net proceeds will be donated to Rotary International’s PolioPlus program.  
 
Tickets are available for purchase today: $60 - includes a seat in an air-conditioned suite and unlimited food and non-alcoholic beverages or $10 -  reserved stadium seat. 
On-line at jolietslammers.com -- use promo code ROTARY; or call Porscha Johnson at (815) 651-2037.
