Robert Hall, an honorary member of our club and vice chair of the RI End Polio Now Countdown Committee, gave an update on Rotary's efforts to eliminate polio. He also recognized Polio Plus Society members and urged others to donate to Polio Plus, explaining how donations are being matched 2:1 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Polio Plus Society members pledge to donate at least $100/year to Polio plus until the World Health Organization declares Polio eliminated worldwide. Our Club has donated $2938 to Polio Plus this year so far. In addition, some members are participating in the District 6900 Tournament Brackets contest.
