Selfless youths

Dear Editor:

Oct. 24 was World Polio Day, which highlights the global efforts to end poliomyelitis (polio) worldwide.

Members of the Fergus-Elora Rotary Club were at Vito’s Pizzeria in Elora on last Thursday promoting pizza sales during the week of Oct. 21 to 27 as 50% of the sales were donated to our Club toward ending Polio worldwide.

While the Rotarians were at Vito’s Pizzeria, a few young teenagers asked why we were there and what Polio was. We talked to the young men for a while and when we were finished talking, the young men donated all the remaining money they had after purchasing their food.

I just felt I had to share this as there is never enough “feel good” stories out there and I thought this was a good one. Have a great day!!!
