The Bridgton-Lake Region Rotary Club is set to host a Walk for Polio Awareness on World Polio Day at 11:15 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 24.
Participants will meet at Stella’s on the Square, 6 North high St. in Bridgton, and walk down Main Street to Queen’s Head Pub, 271 Main St., promoting awareness of the importance of vigilance against the debilitating disease.
“Rotarians and Friends are asked to dress warmly for the 0.7-mile walk down Main Street in Bridgton. Many of us will wear our red Polio tees, carry posters,” Bridgton-Lake Region Rotary Club President John Eliassen said in a news release.
“The purpose of the event is to raise awareness about the continued existence of polio in the world and the need for each child to be vaccinated against this crippling disease,” he added.
