Lets look at the stats:
During my journey I had hoped to inspire other Rotarians to become involved with Polio Plus. But as I visited the clubs, it was I that was inspired by the great works being completed by Rotarians around the globe. I am truly humbled by the work of my fellow Rotarians who give their time, money and efforts to the humanitarian needs of others. Service Above Self is not just motto, it truly is a way of life.
I want to thank all of the clubs who welcomed me into their clubs, service projects and fund raisers, it was an amazing adventure. Looking at the lighter side of the adventure I have rated some of my favorites and given statistical information, for those thinking about visiting 200 clubs in 200 Days. I only had two days during the quest, that I could not make a scheduled visit due to weather or other force. I hope you enjoy the recap.

Number of times I had chicken and green beans
I think over 75 meals offered chicken and green beans, which I do like, just not every other day. I even had chicken with breakfast on two occasions.
Biggest Donation Collected for Polio Plus in honor of my visit at the time of my visit.
Central Calcutta $2000

Please note that many other clubs offered up Happy Dollars and other personal donations which are all recorded on a ledger and are all equally appreciated. It is also noted on each blog visit what the meal cost (my donation) and any other donation offered at that time or commitment made at the time of my visit.
Again thank you to all the clubs who have welcomed me.
