World Polio Day is October 24—How Does Your Club Plan To Take Action?
We have much to celebrate! Africa has now been declared free of the wild poliovirus. Rotarians continue to move closer to the goal of total eradication. Plan an activity in your club. Ask your club leadership about what is being planned for World Polio Day to promote polio eradication.
- Dedicate a club meeting to polio eradication awareness. Invite a guest speaker who is a polio survivor. Invited your local media to the meeting. Have a discussion aimed at increasing awareness of Rotary’s fight against polio.
- Host a virtual viewing party for friends and club members to watch the official Rotary International Online Global Update on October 24.
- Show the “5 Ways to End Polio” video at your club meeting. You can find it at this link:
A really great End Polio Now toolkit is available to help you plan and celebrate. This toolkit has press releases, banners, posters, social media messages, infographics and educational materials. Visit this link to view those materials:
