Today is World Polio Day

Rotary International has designated Monday, October 24 as the day for Rotarians to focus on our worldwide effort to end polio. It's a great time for us to do something proactive to help the cause. Here are a few suggestions:
  1. Visit endpolio.org and sign the Make History petition. It is a petition to urge world leaders to provide critical funding to end polio forever.
     
  2. Write Facebook and Twitter posts to tell people about the good Rotary is doing through PolioPlus.
     
  3. While you are on the endpolio.org site, you can make a donation by clicking the Donate option. Every donation that we commit to polio eradication will be tripled by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
     
  4. Visit your MyRotary site and go into the Rotary Global Rewards. There are many fantastic discounts on travel, services, entertainment and more. The Rotary Foundation gets a percentage every time we use one of the offers.
