Point of Pride: June 7, 2016 
One of the most important announcements at the Rotary Convention in Seoul was made by Trustee Mike McGovern, Chair of the International Polio Plus Committee. He stated that for the first time in the Pakistan’s history, all the previous month's environmental samples for polio have tested negative — a significant sign of progress in the campaign to eradicate polio in Pakistan. Samples are taken from sewage at various locations. This is as or more important than having no polio cases reported. It shows potentially there is no undetected circulating polio virus.
