On the eve of Bill Gates' scheduled address to today's plenary session of the New Orleans convention, Foundation Vice Chair John Germ told revelers at Monday night's "Polio Unmasked" donor relations event that Rotary has thus far raised $173,353,000 toward the $200 million goal of the Gates Foundation challenge grant. Germ emphasized that, despite the nearness of the original goal, the Polio Plus campaign will continue through June 30, 2012, as planned.
