Join District 7780 Rotarians to welcome Peter Teahen and John Ockenfels as they embark on an Around the World Flight to call awareness to Rotary’s commitment to the children of the world to eradicate polio.   John and Peter, Rotarians from Iowa City, will take off from D7780 as they begin the trans-Atlantic leg of this adventure!   They will pilot a single engine Cessna T210n - traveling for 90 days and landing in 21 countries.  
 
Join us at Port City Air (Portsmouth, NH) on Saturday, 6 May to meet the pilots, see their plane, hear about their adventurous trip - and enjoy great Rotary fellowship!  We’ll enjoy a great BBQ, music by Hobson’s Choice, as well as a few other surprises!  
 
This is a super opportunity to invite a couple of friends and introduce them to the international impact of Rotary!
 
Tickets are $50 per person - includes event, dinner & beverage - meet the pilots, see the plane and equipment needed to complete this around the world voyage.  Purchase tickets for the BBQ here:   BBQ TICKETS   Please promote this event through your club and throughout your community.  
 
In addition to seeing off the pilots as they begin the trans-Atlantic portion of their trip, we are seeking to raise $20,000 for Rotary’s End Polio Now efforts.  DONATIONS only can be made on line at Raise4Rotary   
 
Note that the full amount of every donation will support Rotary’s Polio Plus efforts.   All costs of this round the world adventure are being self funded - no donated funds will be used to support the flight costs.  Also note, payment for the event is separate from any donation made through this donation link.
