The Rotary International theme for December is Disease Prevention. There are thousands of great actions around the world led by Rotarians that contribute to preventing or reducing diseases. Our goal in the polio realm is to totally eliminate the virus from the face of the earth, a daunting but entirely likely outcome during the next few years. Our many projects to facilitate clean water, to deliver effective vaccines, to bring effective sanitation systems to communities, and to make other proven practices a reality should be a source of great pride.
