Bake Sale Fights Polio

On World Polio Day, October 24, 2017, one of the newest members of the Rotary Club of Mitchell Field showed the club how a corporate member can involve and inspire a whole company to serve others through Rotary.

Eder Flag’s COO Jodi Goglio, who joined the Rotary Club of Mitchell Field in July as its first corporate member, spoke with Eder Flag employees about Rotary’s polio eradication effort. They jointly decided to hold a bake sale with all proceeds going to fight polio. Many donated the baked the goods that filled the tables in their lunchroom. Others purchased them. Everyone learned about Rotary and its effort to end polio. When the bake sale ended two hours later more than $460 had been raised.

“I am incredibly proud of our team,” said Jodi.
