On Sunday afternoon, at the District Changeover, PDG Ian Knight OAM was presented with a Polio Plus Pioneer award.
This is a prestigious award that is presented annually to only a handful of Rotarians worldwide. In 1987-88, when Ian was District Governor, Rotary introduced the Polio Plus campaign. At the time, 350,000 cases of polio were being reported globally.
Thanks to Ian's efforts as DG in promoting the campaign in the District and in raising significant funds, there are now only a few cases reported. Not only did he work hard during his year, he has continued to promote the campaign for the past 30 years through his various District roles including as District Foundation Chair.
Congratulations Ian.
