President Paul Metcalfe recently received this message from 
Dr. Karien Ziegler
Zone 32 Rotary Coordinator 2014-2017
District 7470 Polio Chair
 
Hello Paul,
I would like to give you a mini update on Polio in the hope that it will remind your club of their much needed End Polio Now contribution.
 
This year, as of February 23, there has been ONE case of polio in 2016: ZERO in Afghanistan, and one in Pakistan.
But the fight is not over yet.
 
This year we will again be blessed with a 2 for 1 match by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Please let me know how I can motivate your club to send me their contribution as soon as possible in order for us to help eradicate polio for all the children of the world.
Please make your check out to The Rotary Foundation and mail to me at: 21 Hutton Ave., #2, West Orange ,NJ 07052
Thank you and all the members in your club
Karien
