Kris lives in rural Chariton with her husband Byron.

A half of a candy bar might not seem like a big deal.  But consider a child who needs the polio vaccine.  Just think:

For the same price, you can save that child from polio through The Rotary Foundation.

And to you, it's no big deal.  It's a better deal.  Saving a life costs less than you think.  Go to www.rotary.org/contribute

When you fill your gas tank or your cupboards using the newest Rotary International credit card, you'll be helping to eradicate polio and earning cash back on your purchases.  The Visa Cash Rewards card, available to U.S. Rotarians and their friends and family members, gives users 3 percent cash back on gasoline, 2 percent on groceries, and 1 percent on all other purchases. And a portion of their charges goes to the End Polio Now campaign.

Since the RI affinity credit card program launched in 2000, it has brought in a total of US$8.1 million for The Rotary Foundation, including $3.1 million to support polio eradication.  For details visit www.rotary.org (keyword search: credit card)
