Rotary's "End Polio Now Day" will be celebrated on October 24th this year. District 6440 is asking each club to look for ideas/opportunities to raise awareness within their respective communities. Pass your ideas onto President Pat.
Below is an article from Rotary International's website:
Thanks to you, we are closer than ever to ending polio. In September, the World Health Organization removed Nigeria from the list of polio endemic countries after going a year without a reported case of the wild poliovirus. It has also been more than a year since the last case of the wild poliovirus anywhere on the African continent. Yet it’s no time to let up on our efforts. Keeping children protected from this virus and building on these achievements will require continued commitment and funding. And every dollar Rotary commits to polio eradication is matched 2 to 1 by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, tripling your impact. Watch our World Polio Day Livestream update, and give to end polio.
