The STamp Out Polio Satellite Club hosted their third Annual Bake Sale for Polio on Saturday, November 15th. STOP Rotarians baked loaves, squares and cookies and sold nearly 1000 goodies to the Dundas community. Current tally is over $500 which – of course – will support Rotary International's End Polio Now campaign. Our booth also served as a reminder to our community that we are "this close" to polio eradication, but we are not quite there yet. Many visitors to our booth shared that they remember when polio was still epidemic in Canada; that is, we are only two generations removed from the devastating consequences of polio in this country. And children in Pakistan and Afghanistan are still at risk of contracting polio. Let us not forget: if polio exists anywhere, it threatens children everywhere. The efforts of the Dundas Valley Sunrise Rotary Club, and its STamp Out Polio satellite club, are aligned to see that no child – ever again – suffers the effects of poliomyelitis.
