This meeting was devoted to raising awareness of Polio and the need to eradicate it.  Rotary has been fighting to eradicate Polio and with the help of Bill and Melinda Gates have made significant head way.  But much still remains to be done.  Click here for the presentation made by the Club President Mike Hodge.
