Sunday, November 2nd at
virus infection. At least, not since the development of polio
vaccines by Drs. Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin. No more
worry about a lifetime on crutches, leg braces, or far worse,
a lifetime crawling around on hands and knees as is often
the case in some countries where polio virus is still endemic.

Benefits the King of Prussia Rotary Charitable
Foundation
Polio Victim in Nigeria
Rotary International (RI) has provided millions of dollars
in the battle to eradicate polio world wide. Rotarians
participate in National Immunization Days (NIDs)
in Madagascar, India, Africa, and other countries where
many children are still unprotected by polio vaccination.
By helping to immunize these children during NIDs, RI
hopes to one day eradicate polio throughout the world.
Can we do it? Will we succeed? That’s the challenge
which lies ahead for every Rotarian.

Neonatal cleft palate and similar pediatric anomalies are
rare in the U.S. When it shows up in infants it is easily
corrected by specialists in reconstructive surgery. But,
in some countries, cleft lips and palates are much more
prevalent. Imagine your child going through life being
barred from contact with other school children because
their condition would be disruptive in class? Can you
understand the anguish of the parents of these young
children, not knowing how to cope with the situation,
or envision a normal life for their child in a society
where they are ostracized?
Dear Friend of Rotary:
It is unlikely that you or your families worried about your
children contracting “Infantile Paralysis,” caused by polio
Rotaplast International, a program supported by Rotarians,
sends teams of physicians and other professionals to
countries with a high incidence of cleft palate. They work
with local Rotary clubs and physicians to identify children
in need of corrective surgery. They set up surgical suites
where they perform wondrous procedures on young patients
to give them a new lease on life. To witness the smiles on the
faces of these children, and their parents, when they emerge
from surgery and realize their affliction is gone - no longer
to stand in the way of their acceptance by peers or society,
is a very heart warming feeling. That’s Rotary at its finest!
You can make a difference in the life of a young adult! Our
Rotarians certainly do. Each year we make a substantial
contribution to our local high school scholarship fund. Three
of our Rotarians are on the Board of Trustees and participate
in the selection of deserving candidates. It is a pleasure to
know we are able to help young individuals attain their
academic goals. Your participation in our fund-raising will
ensure we can continue to do so. And you can be proud of
sharing in their future.

This year’s RI theme is very simple and straight forward;
“Make Dreams Real”. Each year our club stages a fundraising auction and gala dinner as a major source of revenue
to support our Charitable Foundation. In turn, we provide
contributions to many local, national and international
programs such as world wide polio eradication, Rotaplast and
our Upper Merion High School scholarships. These are just a
few of the donations made by our club’s Foundation which
help to “Make Dreams Real.”. Other examples appear on the
back of this brochure.
Here's how you can help us reach our goal:
1. Donate an item or service and list a suggested
retail price.
2. Be a corporate sponsor & purchase a table for 8 for
the auction or individual tickets @ $125.00 each.
3. Buy an ad in our auction program book.
4. Purchase raffle tickets for special prizes, including
$1,000 shopping spree at the King of Prussia Mall.
We’re counting on your generous support to help us continue
these programs. Thanks for becoming a partner in our efforts
to provide a better life for those less fortunate, and for your
support and understanding of our “Service above Self” goals.
Our upcoming fund-raising event will be held Sunday,
November 2nd 2008 at Sullivan’s Steakhouse in King of
Prussia, PA. This venue was a huge success last year and we
hope you can join us this year.
Please consider making the King of Prussia Rotary Club
Charitable Foundation, your way of giving back to your
community on a local, national and international level.
By doing so you will join a cadre of Friends of Rotary who
Help “Make Dreams Real.”.
