World Polio Day 2022

 

 

 

 

On Saturday, October 22, 2022 District 5500 will observe and celebrate World Polio Day, which is Monday, October 24, 2022.  We will have a special program on Zoom from 9 am to 10:30 am Arizona time. (PDT, MST).   The program will include a short history of the disease and Rotary’s pledge to eradicate it, an update on eradication efforts, and how we Rotarians in D5500 can help.  A D5500  Rotarian polio survivor will tell his personal story.   And we will recognize and honor members of the D5500 PolioPlus Society, 62 of whom have committed to give $100 per year to PolioPlus.  Presented by your District Rotary Foundation Committee and PDG Michael Drake, PolioPlus Chair.  You need to register so you will receive a Zoom invitation. 

 

 

 If your club would like to hold its own event, the Tool Kit has ideas, templates, logos, press releases etc.  Or you can join the World Polio Day program on the Rotary International Facebook page to watch with other end polio supporters.  Global health experts and partners will share our progress on the road to polio eradication.
