A week that began October 17th with the Lewisville City Council declaring the week of October 18 through October 24th End Polio Now Week and October 24th as End Polio Day in recognition of the efforts of Rotary including the Lewisville Morning Rotary and the Lewisville Noon Rotary clubs ended World Polio Day October 24th.
The week was dedicated to promoting, advocating and donating to Ending Polio worldwide. We still have two endemic countries where polio is still present and Rotary is dedicated to ending the disease worldwide. And eradicating polio is still costly. Through the efforts of the Bill Gates Foundation matching funds Rotary and its members are dedicating over 150 million dollars annually. So our week included an End Polio Now Fund Raiser.
The Lewisville Morning Rotary Club was able to donate $407 to End Polio Now through its
Wine Tasting to End Polio event October 21st at Wines with (an) Appeal in Lewisville.
Thank you owner Tome Rowe for hosting such a fun way to raise money to End Polio
