From Your District Governor – World Polio Day is October 24th By DG Emma Bodwell, Bridgton-Lake Region RC As I sat down to write this article, it hit me — we’re already three months into this Rotary year! Time really does fly when you’re having fun, connecting with clubs, launching new ideas, and celebrating all the ways we Unite for Good. It’s a reminder to all of us: pause, take a breath, and appreciate the moment. This Rotary year is moving quickly, but every meeting, service project, and conversation adds up to real and lasting impact. World Polio Day is October 24, and it’s one of those moments when we are part of something so much bigger than ourselves. Rotary began its fight to end polio in 1985. Since then, we’ve reduced cases by over 99.9% — from 350,000 cases a year to just a handful. But we’re not done — and the last mile is often the hardest. Here in District 7780, clubs are stepping up with creative and passionate action: - Purple Pinkie fundraisers and local events - Joint Polio awareness walks - Guest speakers sharing Rotary’s global role - Partnerships with Interact, schools, and communities |
