The polio virus is spread person to person, typically through contaminated water. It can attack the nervous system, and in some instances, lead to paralysis. Although there is no cure, there is a safe and effective vaccine – one which Rotary and our partners use to immunize over 2.5 billion children worldwide. In honor of World Polio Day on October 24, we will be launching a month long fundraising campaign for supporting Rotary’s eradication efforts.
Instead of our traditional speaker, we will be sharing facts on polio and asking members and guest to read the facts on film. We will then take all the video clips and create a polio video we can share within Moorpark to raise funds end polio forever!
