Polio Eradication Update
Polio Eradication Update

Tim Mulcrone is a three-time club president, and the Rotary District 5950 Polio Chair, a role he has held since 2012. A charter member of the Rotary Club of Chanhassen, which he helped establish in 1987, Tim has dedicated decades to advancing Rotary’s mission and ensuring that the fight to eradicate polio remains front and center. Along the way, he has become known for delivering memorable presentations—sometimes as a leprechaun in search of a Pot of Gold for Polio, other times as Dracula recounting a chance encounter with Polio at the “Conference for Especially Evil” in Las Vegas.

Beyond creative storytelling, Tim has coordinated numerous high-profile awareness efforts, including End Polio Now billboards, city proclamations, and the illumination of the I-35W Bridge in Rotary’s signature colors. His Rotary service also includes hosting international students, serving as an assistant district governor, and leading special club initiatives. In 2012, Tim and his wife, Ginger, received the Chanhassen Rotary Distinguished Service Award in recognition of their outstanding commitment to service. He is also active with Love INC, the Chimbote, Peru projects, and the Chanhassen Fourth of July Parade. Tim brings enthusiasm, humor, and a deep passion for Rotary’s promise to end polio once and for all.
