WORLD POLIO DAY IDEAS - OCTOBER 24, 2011 

What is your club planning for October 24, 2011?  Send your ideas to quicknotes@district5300.org.  PR has come up with a few ideas to help nudge the creative ideas.  If you have different ideas, send them in so we can share them with the District.

  •  Help your Interact students write to physicians asking for donations.
  • Download a World Polio Day Proclamation and ask your local city council for a proclamation.  Bring a survivor to the presentation and fill the chambers with people silently making the "this close" gesture while the proclamation is read.
  • Find a polio survivor to tell their story in the local media.
  • Send an article in to the local media regarding someone who has attended an NID.
  • Ask local tv/radio to air "this close" PSAs. 
  • Partner with neighboring clubs and local paper for a large (full page!) This Close ad and RI fact sheet info on progress.
For more information visit the Rotary International Website for World Polio Day.
