"Thanks to all those who could and who did show up at today's lunch to show some encouragement for my quest to beat 60 push-ups. With the extra adrenaline and in front of friends, I surpassed what had been my best ever up to then. Thanks for your cheques and your pledges, which total now at a little under $6300. Half will go to Rotary Foundation - SHARE and half will go to End Polio Now....which will be matched two for one by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. If you pledged a fixed amount or on a per push-up basis, please make your cheque out to The Rotary Club of Richmond Foundation and bring it to our next meeting Dec 4th. Of course, if you haven't pledged up to now and wish to do so....any donation is greatly appreciated. And to those who have already paid....thank you so much." - Keith Tsukishima
