PLAN AN EVENT AROUND WORLD POLIO DAY-OCT.24TH

World Polio Day is an ideal time for your club or district to raise awareness about polio and to garner support for the eradication effort. To share Rotary's commitment to a polio-free world with local media, use the PolioPlus Headliner Kit, which contains a sample opinion piece, letter to the editor, and several press releases that can be customized to reflect your club's involvement in PolioPlus.

Clubs can also arrange screenings of The Final Inch, the Academy Award-nominated, 38-minute documentary that follows health workers, including Rotarian volunteers, as they immunize children in India. The Google Foundation will donate US$2 from the sale of each DVD through the end of 2009 to PolioPlus. Find more resources at www.rotary.org.
