ABOUT POLIOPLUS
In
1985, Rotary launched the PolioPlus program to protect children worldwide
from the cruel and fatal consequences of polio. In 1988, the World Health
Assembly challenged the world to eradicate polio. Since that time, Rotary's
efforts and those of partner agencies, including the World Health
Organization, the United Nations Children's Fund, the United States Centres
for Disease Control and Prevention, and governments around the world, have
achieved a 99 percent reduction in the number of polio cases worldwide.
Rotarians stand at the brink of a great victory and look forward to
celebrating the global eradication of polio in 2005, the organization's
centennial year.
In 1905, 37 year old
attorney
Paul Harris changed the world

the
one page history (click) of Rotary developed by
the global
history fellowship (click on the logo on the right for more info) and
inspired by
RC of Peoria, IL, USA #76 District 6460.
