About your Twin Bridges and Sheridan Rotary

President Lois Lehwalder

Made up of business leaders from Sheridan and Twin Bridges we provide for district, statewide, national and international programs. Examples of district and Twin Bridges  and Sheridan related Rotary activities include.

Did you know that In 1985, Rotary launched the PolioPlus program to protect children worldwide from the cruel and fatal consequences of polio. In 1988, the World Health Assembly challenged the world to eradicate polio. Since that time, Rotary's efforts and those of partner agencies, including the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children's Fund, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and governments around the world, have achieved a 99 percent reduction in the number of polio cases worldwide.
