Dear Rotarians,
October 24, 2012 is Polio Awareness Day. May I suggest that all clubs do a Walk throughout their communities with Rotarians and friends to raise awareness of the efforts you have all made towards the eradication of Polio?
If you remember we did do a walk during the conference in Collingwood last year. The clubs in the Collingwood District put it together with District 7070. It was most successful with about 250 who walked through the town.
Perhaps, you could ask your Mayor and Council to declare Polio week from the 21st to the 27th of October. At least six clubs have already done this and do have the support of their town.
The walk itself does not have to entail a great deal; just some action to bring attention to Rotary's goal to eradicate Polio.
