Rotary's Fight to End Polio
Rotary International is on a campaign to irradiate Polio from the face of the earth. This past Friday evening, all across the world this emblem shone on bridges, office buildings, Capitol buildings as well as the Windermere Town Hall, Windermere, Florida.
Worldwide, Rotary has made it its priority to eliminate the polio disease. Polio is a crippling and potentially fatal disease that is still a threat in some rural parts of the world. In 1985 Rotary International launched its PolioPlus program as an answer to the critical effects of the disease.
Since then the PolioPlus program has successfully eradicated 99% of infections. “We’re this close,” said Boothe as he holds up his thumb and index figure illustrating the percentage. Rotary international—along with its partners—have decreased the number of annual cases from 350, 000 to less than 250.
