Citizen Soldier for LIfe
At our Monday meeting, Gary Simmerman was our speaker.  Gary is from Citizen Soldier for Life and runs a program assisting National Guard Service Members to find employment.  Gary is based out of Camp Curtis Guild here in Reading.  CSFL provides career readiness services to Guard members in their initial enlistment in the form of financial literacy and education, career readiness standards and employment skills training.  Its goal is to help Guard members find good civilian careers while serving. 
 
Rotarians were Freezin' for a Reason
On the blustery Saturday morning of February 3, Reading Rotary joined District 7930 and participated in the Polar Plunge to End Polio at Long Beach, Gloucester.  Rotarians Gregg Johnson, KC Latham and Mike Bonsey along with RMHS Interact Students TJ Kelley and Kyle Dumas plunged into the icy Atlantic with approximately 125 Rotary Plungers.  It was a bright a clear day, but it the cold.  The District had raised around $70,000, which is short of the $125k goal.  However, donations are still coming in and there is time for Rotarians and supporters to donate.  Donation online is secure and easy.  The link is here.
 
Polio eradication is Rotary International's signature cause.  Donations are matched 2:1 by the Gates Foundation.  Bill and Melinda Gates have pledged and additional $150 million through 2020 for this cause.  Polio will be only the second disease ever to be eradicated by human effort.  We're this close.
