We believe good health care is everyone’s right. Yet 400 million people in the world can’t afford or don’t have access to basic health care.
Disease results in misery, pain, and poverty for millions of people worldwide. That’s why treating and preventing disease is so important to us. We lead efforts both large and small. We set up temporary clinics, blood donation centers, and training facilities in underserved communities struggling with outbreaks and health care access. We design and build infrastructure that allows doctors, patients, and governments to work together.
Our members combat diseases like malaria, HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and polio. Prevention is important, which is why we also focus on health education and bringing people routine hearing, vision, and dental care.
We missed the original opportunity to publish the information regarding the Polio Plus Society, but it is not too late to join this ongoing project:
In an effort to increase sustainable giving, the PolioPlus Society (PPS) was formed to encourage Rotarians to commit to a minimum of $100 per year to the PolioPlus Fund until polio is eradicated from the face of the earth. Society members receive a special PPS pin, an End Polio Now bracelet, and a certificate.
District 5450
For 2022-2023, clubs are encouraged to contribute $50/member for polio eradication through its members and community awareness events.
The District PolioPlus Committee will help clubs by offering information and speakers on polio, provide flyers for distribution, encouraging club fundraisers and community awareness programs.
For more information we added this page to our website.

On Thursday, November 30, we will have the opportunity to hear from the scouts themselves about how this wonderful project by Pack 545 benefits both our Rotary Club and Pack 545.
I had to dig through some club history to find this photo. Can anyone identify Santa?
Ben will send out information and invitations for this year's Christmas party later this week, but it the meantime be sure to put Thursday December 14 on your calendar.
