The Rotary Club of Jackson Hole went ahead of the official October 24 observance of World Polio Day.  At its regular meeting on October 23, Rotarians and guests contributed cash, checks, and credit card contributions, which, combined with the accumulated Polio Plus donations by Rotarians in October resulted in $1798 dollars being sent to The Rotary Foundation and earmarked for Polio Eradication.  Year to date there have been 14 new cases of paralysis resulting from the Wild Polio Virus.  Last year there were 8 new cases at this time of the year and a total of 22 new cases for the year caused by the Wild Polio Virus.  We are close to the end of polio but not there yet.
