It's World Polio Day!

 
October 24, 2017, we're celebrating being "This Close" to ending Polio worldwide. Uniting with Rotarians across the U.S. and around the globe, we're encouraging you to join the Live Cast from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s facility in downtown Seattle, Washington, USA. (Please visit Rotary.org for details.)
 
You can watch the event live on 24 October at 4:30pm Central Time for an update on our global campaign to eradicate polio. (A recording of the livestream will be available later.)
 
The eClub of North Texas is also honored to have a live interview with Paul Alexander, a Polio Survivor, address our club, during the regular Club meeting time. Please jump over to our Zoom meeting around 5:45pm Central for that interview.
 
Note: there will be no official (or unofficial!) gathering at the Greek Isles this week.

All are invited to attend both events. Please spread the word!
