October 24 marks World Polio Day and the Port Elgin Rotary Club donated $1,000 to the PolioPlus Fund during their meeting at the Queen’s Bar & Grill.

Polio is currently known to be active in three countries around the world and the cost to immunize one individual is approximately 60 cents.

The Port Elgin Rotary Club has been working to end the spread of Polio for the past 15 years, and have helped to immunize more than 2.5 billion children against polio in 122 countries.
