October 24 is Rotary’s 5th annual World Polio Day. What are you and club doing to help eradicate polio?To start, you can livestream Rotary International’s World Polio Day event, which is marking the occasion from the College of Physicians in Philadelphia, starting at 6:30 PM. The event will highlight the steps being taken to reach Rotary’s goal of polio eradication. We’ll also celebrate 30 years of achievements by the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI)
Closer to home, you can host your own viewing of the event, sponsor your own fundraiser, or participate in the events that neighboring clubs are running. For example, the Brookline club has sponsored a video running on a screen outside in Coolidge Corner and asked pedestrians for donations. The Nashoba Valley club works with the schools in its regional school district to get donations from the students in exchange for a purple pinkie. To our north, the Gloucester club runs an annual polar plunge into the Atlantic Ocean in the middle of winter, raising thousands of dollars. Other clubs have sponsored races, “mic-athons,” and speaking events.
The Rotary Community Corps of Sturbridge and Southbridge is wrapping up a successful first year with their sponsored “Community Food Collaborative”. With loving and careful attention during the long hot summer, the garden continued to thrive. The watering team diligently ensured that the crops received enough moisture. The team also was busy weeding, mulching and cleaning up the area in and around the garden while the organic vegetables continued growing.

Summer is over and clubs across the district are working to finalize and implement their goals. This is a great time to consider a Visioning Workshop.
