World Polio Day - October 24
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
"One Day. One Focus: Ending Polio, 24 October
 
On World Polio Day, thousands of Rotary clubs around the world will hold events and fundraisers to recognize our progress in the global fight to end polio.
 
Our 2019 online global update will air in multiple time zones and languages, reaching more people and raising more awareness than ever before." (https://www.endpolio.org/world-polio-day)
 
The Rotary Clubs of Rochester will once again host a Pizza for Polio event but with a different twist this year. Mark your calendars, watch for more details, and plan to eat pizza with friends and family on October 24!
 
"Not sure what to do for World Polio Day? Here are a few ideas:
  • Host a gathering for friends and club members to watch the Online Global Update.
  • Organize a fundraiser and invite guests to experience what it’s like to vaccinate children by viewing Rotary’s virtual reality film, “Two Drops of Patience.” (Download Rotary’s VR app to your Apple or Android device.)
  • Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper about the importance of ending polio. Send it to the letters or opinion page editor for consideration.
  • Share information about Rotary’s efforts to eradicate polio on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram." (polioplus@rotary.org)
