Rotaries Host 'End Polio Now' Presentation

Westport's Rotary Club and Sunrise Rotary will sponsor a presentation by Ann Lee Hussey in the McManus Room of the Westport Library Wednesday, March 24, at 7:30pm. The event kicks off Rotary International's End Polio Now program.

Polio remains a significant public health issue in the developing world, even though it has been eradicated in developed countries. Hussey, a polio survivor and Rotarian, has led 15 rotary-sponsored volunteer trips to countries including India, Egypt, Mali, Niger, Nigeria and Bangladesh during the last four years to immunize children against polio. She will talk about her work on these trips, about remaining challenges, and about the End Polio Now program.

Community members interested in attending the presentation should contact Roy Fuchs at 203-856-4321 or Todd Mauerman at 203-254-6920 for reservations.
