Polio Plus Society
Polio Plus Society
We are so close to eradicating Polio worldwide. We are in that last push to finish what we started and keep our promise to the world. Being a member of the Polio Plus Society means a commitment to help Rotary finish this race. With a donation to Polio Plus of $100 Rotarians will receive a recognition certificate and a limited-edition US minted Polio $1 dollar coin. This will be unique to our District.
This coin was minted in 2019 state of Pennsylvania honoring the discovery of the polio vaccine in 1953 by Dr. Jonas Salk and his team. In 1947, the University of Pittsburgh hired Dr. Jonas Salk to develop the polio vaccine.
Literacy
District 6920
Literacy Initiative
Basic Education and Literacy is one of the District‘s areas of focus. In 2020-2021, a majority (23 of the 42) of the club projects receiving District Grant funds were in the Basic Education and Literacy focus area. The projects represent a total commitment of $89,777.05 in money but are unmeasurable in the commitment of time and effort, and priceless in the lifelong impact they have on the lives of the young — our future.
