The Baldwinsville Rotary Club just finished their Polio campaign – we called it pounds of pennies for polio. The campaign was taken on by charter member Stu Hosler last summer and enlisted the help of our Rotarians each week as well as the seniors at Canton Woods Senior Center, spearheaded by Ed Barlow, President of the seniors club. Our goal was to see how many pennies we could collect to fight this terrible disease. Last week we gathered to weigh the 206 pounds of pennies at the B’Ville Farmers Coop, using a large scale. The picture shows several of our members “weighing in” on our accomplishment. We are also pleased to report that our club has donated the difference between the pennies and our $1000 commitment. We were fortunate to have the editor of our local newspaper at the weigh in to take our picture and document the event in our local paper – view it here.
