07/03/2008: "Fighting Polio & Rocking The Dock On 4th"

(Rocking The Dock in FH last year with the Timebenders)

Friday, July 4, The San Juan Rotary Club once again packed them in as folks got out their blue suede shoes and showed up to dance to the popular show band Timebenders of Victoria B.C. that returned to the Friday Harbor waterfront with their All-Ages Rock and Roll Revival, to help Rotary fight polio.

Proceeds from this years “Rock the Dock” will go towards polio eradication. Rotary International and its global partners are committed to reaching every child with the polio vaccine and ending this disease worldwide.

Polio cases have declined 99 percent since the 1980’s when the program began. 2 billion children have been immunized, 5 million spared disability, and over 250,000 deaths have been prevented.

The ticket purchases -and donations that can still be made- will help to continue this work.
