DID YOU KNOW?

Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 45 years. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever.

Rotary's first polio project was to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979. Inspired by that successful vaccination campaign, Rotary went on to become a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1988, which has reduced polio cases around the world by 99.9 percent.

Thanks to the generosity and commitment of our members, Rotary has contributed more than US$2.9 billion in PolioPlus grants and countless volunteer hours to protect more than 3 billion children in 122 countries from this disease. Rotary’s advocacy efforts have played a role in decisions by governments to contribute more than $11 billion to the effort.

Today, polio remains endemic only in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But it’s crucial to continue working to keep other countries polio-free. If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year.

Emmaus Rotary Happenings (to appear in the Emmaus Borough News):

2026 has been a service-packed year for the Emmaus Rotary.

We celebrated our 100 years Centennial serving the East Penn Community and having an impact on our community needs.

Our local signature project is the East Penn Feeding Program. We work with other local service organizations including the Lions, Lionesses, Kiwanis, Lower Macungie Township, Faith Presbyterian Church, Angel Network, Grace Lutheran Church as well as Bethel Pantry and Mack Trucks.  The project works closely with the East Penn School District in helping to identify the food insecure children in our District. To date, we have now distributed over 31,000 bags of food to our children. We need financial support as we sustain this program.

Please consider donating by going to www.emmausrotary.org: East Penn Feeding Program

We also supported the local community this year by supplying equipment to the Emmaus Ambulance Department and WildLands Conservancy.  There have been numerous volunteer opportunities including pollinator boxes, stream clean up, Wheels of Time—just to name a few. We have worked with the Emmaus Public Library.

We have more upcoming activities including our Annual festival at community park on June 19, 2027.
