In support of Rotary International's pledge to eradicate Polio from the face of the earth, Ripon began planning in July of 1987 during Larry Trotter's presidency. The District goal was set at $580,000 and Ripon was given a goal of $9,120. Tom Worrall was named chairman for the drive, pledge cards were issued, and each member was asked to consider a pledge of $165 over a period of 11 months. An auction was staged in July offering donated items ranging from tools and appliances to an antique dentist chair and an automobile. The sales brought in $3,000. At the dive's conclusion, $12, 145 had been raised - exceeding the Club goal by over $3,000. |
