This Close!
World Polio Day is October 24th, to honor the birthday of Dr.Jonas Salk, who led the first team to develop a polio vaccine.  One of the special events that Rotary has planned, in partnership with UNICEF, is a "Livestream" event from New York City at 5:30PM our time on Friday the 23rd.  We can watch a global status update on the fight to end polio and take part in the conversation. Guests will include Global Polio Eradication Initiative partners, celebrity ambassadors, polio survivors, and others.
 
There are many ways we can be a part of this moment in history. For example:
  • Host a viewing party, invite friends and co-workers
  • Have a viewing party in your office! Its at 5:30 anyway!
  • Write a letter to the editor of your local paper outlining the successes of Polio Plus
  • Invite local media folks to watch the event
  • How about this: A FLASHMOB! Arrange a venue with big TVs and a bar!
