During his recent visit to the club, District Governor Bill Bruce presented President-Elect Randy Olson with a Certificate of Appreciation from The Rotary Foundation. The award recognizes the Rotary Club of Ames for its financial support of the End Polio Now: Countdown to History Campaign for 2025–26.
As People of Action, Ames Rotarians join a global network of 1.2 million leaders working to solve critical challenges. For decades, Rotary’s top priority has been the global eradication of polio. Through local contributions, our members help deliver vaccines and support frontline efforts to protect children worldwide.
Signed by Rotary International President Francesco Arezzo and Foundation Chair Holger Knaack, the certificate highlights our club's ongoing commitment to finishing the job and ensuring a polio-free world.
