October is recognized as Polio Awareness Month by Rotary International and other organizations to raise awareness and funds for polio eradication. The month-long campaign culminates with World Polio Day on October 24, which commemorates the work done to combat the disease and highlights ongoing efforts to eliminate it worldwide.

 Rachel-Maria Brown

"I love being part of something that brings people together and makes a difference."
Rachel has made an impression. A very, very good impression. Since joining Rotary in July 2024, Rachel has given her all. She's volunteering for whatever she can, and she's doing it with a friendly smile and "we can do it" nature. What's really cool about Rachel is that she believes so much in the spirit of volunteerism, she has been passing that passion on down to her kids. "I'm truly proud of my involvement in community events - especially when I get to volunteer alongside my kids."
Rachel's a go-getter, and we'll be seeing a lot more of her in the years ahead...and we're looking forward to it.

All three women have done amazing work within our community and are more than deserving of this special recognition.
