The Rural City of Murray Bridge was supported by the Rotary Club of Murray Bridge with a fourth Rhyme, Climb & Grind Event at Sturt Reserve Murray Bridge yesterday. Covid safety was a prime concern with all the aspects of the Event. The Climbing was a real feature enjoyed by all along with the music put on by The Station, the skate park facility, air art, mini golf, the giant plastic hamster balls and free food paid for by the Council and cooked by the Rotary Club of Murray Bridge volunteers. It concluded a wonderful day with the Wakeboard SA events in the morning attracting families and the Bunyup was well used. The Station does a great job in supporting young people in the Murraylands. A great use of the beautiful Murray Bridge Riverfront.

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.
