Reporting on the work of the Rotary Foundation the recent PolioPlus collections in the Dale and Rotary District 1040 were well supported by the community, which appreciates Rotary's goal of a polio free world.  While children are being immunised they are given Vitamin A supplements that it is estimated has averted over 1.5 million deaths since 1984 when the Polio eradication scheme began. A Group Study Exchange team from New Zealand will be in the District in the autumn
