Volunteer at Polio Survivors Conference

District 5950 Rotarians will have the opportunity to volunteer at a day-long Polio Survivors Conference to serve as hosts to the participants and to spread the word to a target audience of people who  have a personal connection with the disease, but may not know about Rotary’s 30-year effort to eradicate it.

We need 8 - 10 volunteers per hour from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. You can sign up a friend or family member as a GUEST to volunteer with you. The conference will provide lunch to volunteers who serve over the lunch hour. NO FEE to volunteer.

As you register, in the Comments box below your name, please state:

• Times you are available AND
• Polo shirt size (from Women's XS to Men's XXL)

 Deadline to register is  Sept. 21.

The Back Story:  District 5950 has a unique opportunity to participate with the Courage Kenny Foundation in co-sponsoring their second polio survivors conference:    “Life After Polio:  Realities and Practicalities” to be held Friday, October 2, 2015, at the Minneapolis Marriott Northwest in Brooklyn Park.

This year marks the 30^th anniversary of Rotary’s campaign to rid the world of polio . . . and we are very close to doing that.  The Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute has a related focus . . . but their goal is to assist those who survived the disease to lead a richer, fuller life while dealing with the chronic health concerns that may remain.
