WE ARE "THIS CLOSE"

As of June 30, 2011, contributions to Rotary's $200 Million Challenge for polio eradication surpassed $182 million.

 

While the polio virus can still be found in four countries: Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and Nigeria, India has not reported a single case of polio in five months!

 

Rotary has launched an interactive web-based application, www.thisclose.net, that allows visitors to insert their face and name into a mock "This Close" public service campaign.

 

Use the campaign to encourage everyone in your network, including the public, to get involved in Rotary's push to end polio.  District 5300 contribution levels will be reported monthly.  Stay tuned.
