The Rotary Club of York maintains a "Charitable Endowment Fund" that provides grants of up to $2,500 to recognized non-profit organizations that serve disadvantaged youth in our community.  It is one of the ways that Rotarians give back to our community as partial repayment for our successes.

The Rotary Club distributed $22,645.00 to 15 organizations at their  May 2009 meeting.  The group photo is of the representatives from each organization who attended the meeting to accept the grant.

Actress and UNICEF goodwill ambassador Mia Farrow said she understands the devastation of polio and the importance of eradicating the virus. Farrow survived polio as a child and adopted a son from India who had contracted the disease.

"Polio is a terrible, terrible disease. We are right to be pushing for the end of it," Farrow said during the third plenary session of the 2009 RI Convention on 23 June. "We are almost there, we just have to push a little further."
