This is a quick note to let you know that you might want to watch ABC World News Tonight this Friday, 28 January (check local listings). In November, Rotary International’s sent three Rotarians to Delhi to participate in polio nation immunization day activities. The group was joined by Dr. Richard Besser, and an ABC news crew, to film Rotarians in action and to tell the story of Rotary’s 25 year effort to eradicate of polio. It is our understanding that this Friday night, on ABC World News Tonight, the story will air (assuming that the world news of the day does not pre-empt regular programming.)
Also there will be a webcast featuring Bill Gates, Jr. and Diane Sawyer, talking about polio eradication on Monday, January 31, 9:30 a.m. ET at www.gatesfoundation.org Finally, it is our understanding that Good Morning America may also pick up this story, but we have yet to be notified when or if it will be done.
This is a great story for Rotary, and should help to let the world know about our efforts to eradicate this disease. For the Rotarians who are receiving this message, please feel free to share this message as I think it will make people proud about our organization.
I was lucky enough to be one of the three on the trip. Assuming my luck still holds, you might be able to catch a glimpse of me on this news programming.
Enjoy the newscast.
