WE. ARE. SO. CLOSE. to eradicating this terrible disease.
Rotary International, in conjunction with the Gates foundation, is nearly there!
Polio Plus Society is a new fundraising and recognition program that specifically supports Polio Plus through members donating at least US$100 per year until polio is eradicated. Email for more information.
Our latest Polio Plus Society member is Jane Anderson, shown receiving her membership certificate from President Kerry Anderson.
Thanks to Jane, and the six other Polio Plus Society members in our Club, we are now another step closer to eradicating polio.
Rotary International's campaign against polio commenced in 1979 with a multi-year grant to immunise children in the Philippines against the disease. This lead to the launch of Polio Plus, with the goal of eradication of polio, in 1985.
