Announcements CLUB GOAL: RAISE $3,000 IN MARCH FOR POLIO PLUS March is PolioPlus Month and the Rotary Club of Champaign has a goal to raise $3,000 for Polio Plus! Your help is needed to reach this goal! During March, please make your check out to Rotary Foundation with Polio in the memo line. Please give your check to Ken Gunji, Ken Buel, Connie Walsh. Poliomyelitis or polio is a acute viral infectious disease. It is spread through crowding, unclean conditions, and improper sanitation of waste fluids. During the early 20th century, polio devastated many populations around the world; thanks to vaccines developed in the middle of the century, polio is rare in first world countries. Unfortunately, lack of thorough vaccination in developing nations makes polio a recurring problem in these areas of the world.

The infection is caused by the poliovirus, a virus which attacks the digestive tract in human beings. There are three classes of polio; the most mild, type three, represents the bulk of polio infections. The patient may experience a general feeling of malaise and flu-like symptoms, but he or she may not even realize that these symptoms are the result of a polio infection. In more severe cases, polio gets into the bloodstream and starts to rapidly multiply, causing more serious health problems.
