A Great Rotary Fun night at the Cameo Theatre in Murray Bridge to see The DUKE as a fundraiser for the Polio Plus Program through the Rotary Foundation organised by the Rotary Club of Murray Bridge. Director Lyn Sickerdick and her team organised finger food and drinks for 6pm at the Theatre. In 1961, a 60 year old taxi driver "steals" Goya's portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London. He sends ransom notes saying that he will return the painting if the government invests more in care for the elderly. Jim Broadbent and Helen Mirren play their characters brilliantly in a polished performance. The enjoyable night finished off with a major raffle for the audience with heaps of prizes for which we thank the local supporters.

End Polio Now
In 1985 Rotary launched PolioPlus to immunize every child in the world against polio. Working with our partners and members of the global health community, together we will end polio.
Through the science of vaccines, Rotary & partners have saved nearly 19 million children from becoming paralyzed by polio. Learn more about our work to End Polio Now and how you can get involved: https://on.rotary.org/3eqtrrr
Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years, and we’ve made incredible progress in the fight to rid the world of it forever.
It’s crucial to eradicate polio from the last two countries where it remains endemic and 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.
What is polio?
Polio, or poliomyelitis, is a paralyzing and potentially deadly infectious disease that most commonly affects children under the age of 5. The virus spreads from person to person, typically through contaminated water. It can then attack the nervous system.
