The Old Town Rotary Club joined with the Rotary Club of Bangor and the Bangor Area Breakfast Rotary Club to create a "Rotary Quarter Mile" in Old Town's Waterfront Park to raise funds and awareness for Polio Plus, Rotary's decades-long effort to eradicate polio.  The goal was to create a mile of quarters--an oval one-eighth mile long and eight quarters wide--which required 66,555 quarters, equal to $16,638.75.  Since the funds were matched 2:1 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the total amount raised for Polio Plus was $49,916.25--enough to pay for vaccination of 83,193 children.
