On Tuesday, April 30th 2019, our lunch speaker will be Mayor Sally Russell. She’ll join us for lunch to discuss City Council’s priorities and to discuss Mayor Russell’s initial experience as the City’s first elected mayor.

Ms. Russell has served on Council since November 2012. Russell’s career, her participation on the Bend Planning Commission and other community volunteer positions have lead her to know and understand the many and diverse sides of the Bend community. Her passions include skiing on Mt Bachelor, mountain biking, running an organic CSA garden and enjoying life with her two daughters whenever they come home from college. Sally is Bend’s first elected Mayor since 1923.

Last week was World Immunization Week, and we promoted this each day on our Facebook and Twitter timelines. 

Through the global fight to end polio, Rotary International and its partners have protected more than 2.5 billion children from polio. Because of their work and the efforts of tens of thousands of health workers, polio will one day soon be a distant memory.
