LANGLEY, BC - The Rotary Club of Langley (evening club) will be celebrating World Polio Day by hosting a World’s Greatest Meal event on Oct. 29, 2015. The event will be a pot-luck dinner, with proceeds contributed to Rotary’s Polio Eradication program. World Polio Day (Oct. 24) is held on the anniversary of the birth of Dr. Jonas Salk, inventor of the oral polio vaccine.
Since 1984, Rotary International has spearheaded the effort to eradicate polio, worldwide, forever. Joined by the World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control, UNICEF, and more recently, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the effort has slashed new polio cases from over 400,000 per year, to only 57 to date in 2015. The wild polio virus remains endemic in only Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Nigeria. But there have been no cases in Nigeria for over a year, and it is expected that all of Africa will soon be declared polio-free.
It is estimated that over $5 billion is still needed to complete the vaccinations that will forever erase polio from the world. Admission to the World’s Greatest Meal is by donation of $20 or more. Tax receipts WILL be issued. Contact David Truman, Rotary District 5050 PolioPlus chair for reservations or further details.
It's less than a month to go before the club's Fall Gala and Auction. A terrific number of quality and unique items will be up for auction including:
- A week vacation in Las Vegas during March Break 2015
- Over $5000 in jewelry
- Two hand made park benches
- Flights for two people with the Fraser Blues
- Trevor Linden autographed photos and jerseys
- A custom made cashmere suit
Full event details and tickets are available at: http://langleyrotaryauction.org
