The Rotary Club of Wilsonville is joining forces with Ordnance Taphouse in Wilsonville to host a World Polio Day event! Enjoy a beer and some snacks, meet people who are serving the community, perhaps win a door prize and support End Polio Now. Ordnance Taphouse will make a donation for each beer sold all day long! Thanks for our friends at Ordnance!

Poliomyelitis, or polio, is a paralyzing and potentially fatal disease that still threatens children in some parts of the world. Polio virus invades the nervous system and can cause total paralysis in hours. It can strike poeple of any age but mainly affect children under five. Polio can be prevented by vaccines, but it is not curable. Unlike most diseases, polio can be eradicated.

For more than 30 years, Rotary and our partners have driven the effort to eradicate polio worldwide. Our PolioPlus program was the first initiative to tackle global eradication by vaccinating children on a massive scale. As a core partner in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, Rotary focuses on advocacy, fundraising, volunteer recruitment and building awareness.

Purchase a $10 raffle ticket for your chance to win a basketball signed by Basketball Hall of Fame member Rick Barry of the Golden State Warriors!

The Rotary Club of Wilsonville meets weekly Thursdays at noon to carry out its purpose of providing service and fellowship to members and the Wilsonville community. Guests are welcome. Lunch is available off the menu; please arrive and order by 11:45 a.m. if you are ordering lunch. For more information, email president@wilsonvillerotary.com.
