The World's Biggest Commercial

When Rotary began the fight against polio, the crippling disease affected 350,00, mostly children in 125 countries every year. 

After nearly 30 years and immunizing more than 2 billion children against polio, Rotary and its partners are on the brink of making history.  We are This Close.  Fewer than 700 new cases were reported in 2011, and the wild polio virus today is confined to isolated pockets in only three countries.

Our Club is going to part of the  World’s Biggest Commercial, one starring thousands of people around the world.  One that enables every day folk form all walks of life to  join with Nobel laureates,  movie stars, famous musicians and other notable people to express a united commitment to End Polio Now.  We will be taking the photograph at the meeting on February 20, at 12:15.  We would like as many members to participate in this group effort.  Just bring your smiles and be prepared to say,  “We are This Close”!
