World Polio Day is October 24th.  As you read previously, one of the main initiatives of Rotary International is eradicating Polio.  Rotary is a founding partner in the End Polio Now Initiative. Polio remains in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Gaza.  Rotary clubs around the world raise funds to support the Polio Plus fund, which is matched 2-to-1 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.  To read more about the ending polio, click here.
