Rotarians are Life-changers!

 
They may live next door, work alongside you, volunteer at the local food bank or your children’s school, attend your church or golf at the local golf course. They are leaders in the community and world citizens.

But the project that Simcoe Rotarians are committed to and dedicated to achieving with Rotary 's world-wide clubs is the eradication of polio. How many service organizations or governments are capable of doing this or even attempting to do this?
