December 14, 2022, Omaha Nebraska. Recently, PDG Carol Horner presented the Rotary Club of Omaha the Rotary International's recognition for exceeding its PolioPlus goals during Rotary Year 2021-2022 under the leadership of President Aileen Warren.

PolioPlus enables Rotary members in polio-free countries to provide support to fellow members in polio-affected countries for polio eradication activities. PolioPlus is doing so much more than eradicating polio. Below is an article lifted from Rotary International.
Musa Muhammed Ali, a farmer in Borno state, Nigeria, has had to deal with the many ways polio has affected his life. For instance, he used to have to pay for transportation when he needed to buy feed for his animals. But after receiving a hand-operated tricycle funded through Rotary’s PolioPlus grants, Ali (pictured above) can now spend that money on other necessities. His life was changed by the “plus” in PolioPlus.
When we talk about PolioPlus, we know we are eradicating polio, but do we realize how many added benefits the program brings? The “plus” is something else that is provided as a part of the polio eradication campaign. It might be a hand-operated tricycle or access to water. It might be additional medical treatment, bed nets, or soap. A 2010 study estimates that vitamin A drops given to children at the same time as the polio vaccine have prevented 1.25 million deaths by decreasing susceptibility to infectious diseases.
