What is Polio...?
 
Polio, or poliomyelitis, is a crippling and potentially deadly infectious disease especially of young children. It is caused by the poliovirus. Poliovirus is usually spread from person to person through infected fecal matter entering the mouth. It may also spread by food or water containing human feces and less commonly from infected saliva.
 
The disease is preventable with the polio vaccine.
 
● Through Rotary International and the PolioPlus program (along with their partner's) polio will be eradicated worldwide soon.
●  As of April 1, 2018 there have been only seven known cases of polio in the world.
●  Let's hit a homerun in District 5170 with every Rotarian contributing at least $50 towards the "Flash Campaign" so that all the children in the world can stand tall and walk with their heads held high.
 
YOUR SUPPORT IS NEEDED TODAY...

It highlighted the positive changes women make around the world. Annette Dixon, vice president of the World Bank for South Asia, moderated the event.
