Rotary is very close to completing a project begun in 1988 – the eradication of Polio worldwide.  There are only three countries left that are not yet polio free.  In support of World Polio Day, the Walworth Fontana Rotary Foundation (Geneva Lake West Rotary Club) is requesting your financial help in achieving this goal.  The Gates Foundation is matching donations 2 to 1, so every dollar is magnified.

 

Rotarian, Don Vandello, is heading this drive.  “ We originally intended to create a fundraising event to highlight this cause, but Covid-19 has interfered with any social gathering, so we are trying to go virtual with this request.  Both I and my wife are polio survivors from ages 9mos, and two years old.  We truly understand what this disease can do, are proud to be a part of an organization like Rotary, with the global reach to defeat polio once and for all.  I am asking all of my fellow Rotarians, friends, and family, to spread the word.  We will post this on our Website and on Facebook. If we can all share these posts on our social media, it would be a  great help.”
