Prakash Venkataraman (Co-President, Rotary Cambridge Sunset) represented our club at a fundraising breakfast in Mississauga on January 27 , where he joined District 7080 leaders to raise funds for Polio Plus.
He was joined by Badar Shamim (Polio Chair, Rotary District 7080), PDG Kathi Dick, District Governor Brenda Halloran and several Rotary leaders.
They enjoyed a delicious Pakistani breakfast at a local Pakistani restaurant Auntie’s Kitchen in Mississauga. The event was a chance for fellowship with Rotary Polio Plus Society members and an opportunity to thank people for their support over the past year.
Some of the other attendees included dignitaries from Pakistan, MP Shafqat Ali, MPP Rudy Cuzzetto, DGE Sohail Naseer, DGN Susanne Zbinden, Crime Stoppers Chair Imran Hasan, PDG Norm, fellow Presidents and members from Rotary District 7080 Community.
Rotary International brings together leaders who step up to take on the world’s toughest challenges, locally and globally.
The eradication of polio is one of our largest and most impactful efforts to date. Along with our partners, we have helped immunize more than 2.5 billion children against polio in 122 countries. We have reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent worldwide and we won't stop until we end the disease for good.
