YAP Dinner Raises $3,750 For Polio VaccineIn Newman, thanks to excellent ticket sales by middle school students and Orestimba High School Interact Club members, the January 28th YAP spaghetti take-out dinner made $3,750. The YAP (Youth Against Polio) dinner was a project of the Rotary Club Of Newman in cooperation with these local schools. To help eliminate polio worldwide, the Newman club has pledged to raise $20,000 in a three-year period (20O2-2005). The YAP dinner and the KAP (Kids Against Polio) dinner of October 2002 raised a total of S6,760 toward that goal. The cost of the meal was underwritten so every dollar from every ticket went to buy polio vaccine. The students sold tickets and worked on take-out day by assembling the dinners. It was a drive-by take-out with students meeting the cars in the parking lot with dinners ready to go. Over 700 dinners were sold. With these school groups assisting us, we are well on our way to completing our 520,000 pledge by June of 2005 stated Club Polio Eradication Campaign chair, Carol Stephens. |
