LAST WEEK we heard from Timothy Mulcrone, who talked to us about ending Polio. Tim is a member of the Chanhassen Rotary Club and ending Polio is a major emphasis of Rotary International. With the introduction of the SALK vaccine in 1953 and the SABIN oral vaccine in 1954, polio worldwide has declined but is not eradicated. Tim told of his Uncle who died of polio as a young boy just days after symptoms appeared. You can help by donating at endpolio.org.
