World Polio Day is October 24!
Across District 7815, Rotary clubs are coming together to raise awareness and support the global effort to eradicate polio. This year’s activities include Pints for Polio in Dartmouth, a chowder cook-off in Amherst, an End Polio Now flag raising in Charlottetown, and a special “Ripple Effect” Golden Pale Ale supporting polio eradication in St. John’s East. These events are a great example of how clubs are using fellowship, community events, and creativity to help Rotary finish the job. What is your club doing? Share with me at roystellaj@gmail.com
Rotary’s polio eradication efforts have helped immunize billions of children and have brought the world closer than ever to being polio-free. Find out what clubs across District 7815 are doing for World Polio Day and how you can take part in the fight to End Polio Now.
