Polio …. the investment and the return

The photo is beautiful, yet this polio virus is deadly. Join us Friday morning at the AC Hotel as Jennie Stipick, our Foundation Director, talks about Rotary's quest to End Polio Now ... looking at the investment and what the return means to all of us. 

Polio, or poliomyelitis, is a paralyzing and potentially deadly infectious disease that most commonly affects children under the age of 5. The virus spreads from person to person, typically through contaminated water. It can then attack the nervous system. Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever. As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, we've reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent since our first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979. Come learn more on Friday!
