Each year on 24 October, Rotary joins with our partners, global health organizations, and public health advocates to mark World Polio Day. Rotary clubs have a critical role in World Polio Day by hosting events and activities to increase awareness about polio and raise funds toward eradicating it. To build on the success of last year, we need your help!

Please share this newsletter widely to ensure our entire Rotary family and friends stay well-connected and informed.

This year’s theme, The Magic of Rotary, urges members to recognize and amplify the organization’s power to save lives.
 
At the Rotary International Assembly in Orlando, Florida Rotary International President-elect, Stephanie Urchick told incoming district governors “Don’t misunderstand me – we are not going to end polio or bring peace to the world by waving a wand and saying some funny words. It’s up to you. You create the magic with every project completed, every dollar donated, and every new member.”
 
Stephanie said she saw the magic of Rotary on display when she was helping install water filters in the Dominican Republic. “Two boys were watching as dirty water entered the filter, then ran out clean at the other end. “One of the boys grabbed my sleeve and said, ‘Show me the magic again,’” she said. “Obviously, the water filter wasn’t magic. We worked hard to transport those filters, install them, and work with community leaders in the area to maintain them. But those boys knew that easy access to clean water would change their lives. Knowing that I played a small part in that certainly changed my life.”
