Joint District 6440 & District 6450 Rotary Picnic on the Lake

in conjunction with

2007 Jim Vrettos Memorial
Race to the Finish to Eradicate Polio
5K Run & 5K Walk

June 10, 2007
Northwestern University, Norris Center East Lawn
Evanston, Illinois

The effort to globally eradicate polio is nearly finished. Join us in this combined district event to celebrate the efforts and raise money through the annual Race to the Finish 5K Run and 5K Walk hosted by the Rotary Club of Chicago – Financial District. Districts 6440 and 6450 will match Rotarian donations and Race to the Finish proceeds dollar-for-dollar, and Rotary International will match them at $.50 per dollar. We hope individual clubs will also match funds as well, encouraging participation and adding further leverage.

Then, following the walk, join the Rotary Clubs of Evanston at a family buffet picnic open to all District 6440 and 6450 Rotarians, family, friends, and race participants. Start summer right by enjoying the day at the spectacular lakefront with your Rotary family. Besides the good food there are many activities planned. You can play volleyball and lawn sports of all kinds, listen to the music, or sit back and enjoy the view. Take advantage of the fishing and the bike trails along the shore by bringing your fishing poles and bicycles.

The picnic and fun activities at the Northwestern University campus will go from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. on the Norris Center East Lawn, 1 block north of the parking deck at Sheridan & Campus Drive. The picnic goes on rain or shine.

Registration Deadline: June 5th
