Thirty Years ago 350,00 children were contracting the deadly polio virus. Thanks to Rotary’s leadership and the investment the number of cases has been reduced to 99%. Last year, there were only 33 new cases reported. This has been accomplished through the generous donations by Rotarians and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This year we will have the collection cans available at each meeting. They will be collected October 23. Donation is simple-Pick up your donation can, fill it and return it. Donations will be matched 2-1 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. You may also make your designated donation on-line at rotary .org specifying the Polio Fund. If you choose this method, please let Brittany Wilson, bwilson@mhpllp.com know. |
