Rotary Question of the Week:
This happened on May 4, 1987 and changed the face of Rotary forever!
Sadly, this week another two cases of wild polio with paralysis were diagnosed in Pakistan, bringing the number of cases in the world to 10 since New Years Day 2025. We're going in the right direction, but it's still out there now with 2 cases in Afghanistan and 8 in Pakistan.
If you aren't already giving to the PolioPlus Society - at an affordable $8.50 a month or $100 annually until polio is eradicated finally and forever - see Foundation Chairs Bryan or Dale for more information.
