To register for the Participate for Polio event on Oct 2, 2021:
5 REASONS WHY WE MUST ERADICATE POLIO
IMPROVE LIVES.
Today, 19 million people who would otherwise be paralyzed by polio are walking, and 1.5 million people who would have died are alive.
INVEST IN THE FUTURE.
If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children annually. A polio-free world will be a healthier world for children everywhere.
IMPROVE CHILD HEALTH.
Polio surveillance networks and vaccination campaigns also monitor children for other health problems, like vitamin deficiency and measles, and address them sooner.
LOWER HEALTH CARE COSTS.
The global effort to eradicate polio has already saved more than $27 billion in health care costs since 1988, and expects to save $14 billion more by 2050.
MAKE HISTORY.
Polio eradication will be one of history’s greatest public health achievements, with polio following smallpox to become only the second human disease eradicated from the world.
District 7090 Conference is coming soon - October 21-23, 2021. Save the dates!. We have designed it so that there are many ways you can participate. On Thursday October 21, there is a virtual conference event from 7-9 pm - you won't want to miss the interaction and the cocktail and appetizer feature. On Friday October 22, it is a day of service - or rather a few hours in the late afternoon of service followed by 18 socials in all the various areas in our District. And Saturday October 23 is an in-person conference in my hometown of Hamilton Ontario from 9:30 to 3:30 pm - with hopefully the chance to stream the keynote lunch speaker. Flyer attached with this message. Be sure to make a plan to take part in it.
Anne Bermingham our District Governor would like to see each and every Rotarian in our District take part in some aspect of the conference. Let’s keep serving to change lives.
