District 7930 Rotarians are Making History

2015 has been history-making year in Rotary's efforts to #endpolio. In July, we marked one year since the last case of wild poliovirus was found in Nigeria. According to endpolio.org, this achievement could signal that the world will soon see a polio-free Africa, a major milestone in global public health! In fact, Africa hasn’t seen a new case since August 11, 2014. When Nigeria and the entire African region go three years without a case of polio, World Health Organization will certify them as polio-free! But the good news didn't stop in July. Only 2 months ago, we made polio history with the eradication of the Type 2 strain, and Rotarians in District 7930 can count themselves as part of this achievement. In the past three years alone, members of this district raised a historic $291,960 to this global initiative, and we're not done! This monumental success has happened through a lot of effort and education. I hope you find this special polio edition of the e-newsletter informative and inspiring. Please consider registering today and meet me for the biggest beach party of the winter!
