By Carl Good III
Two of our clubs have been active for Polio Plus: the Rotary Club of Auburn and the Rotary Club of Groton Pepperell.
The Auburn club, in partnership with the Auburn Middle School and the Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School in Charlton, has collected $700 for Polio Plus per Marcia Davis, treasurer of the Auburn club.
Last Thursday, I attended the meeting of the Groton-Pepperell club, where they committed $500 to Polio Plus.

If you are had an event for World Polio Day (or Week), please send me a brief description. We are keeping track of the events.
Thank you for all you do to erase this terrible disease from the face of the Earth.
October was an important month for both The Rotary Foundation and Polio Plus.
