October is Vocational Service Month



Rotarians gearing up for World Polio Day

By Dan Nixon and Arnold Grahl

Rotary International News -- 10 October 2011

 ________________________________________

Rotarians around the globe are planning events to raise polio eradication awareness

 and funding for World Polio Day on 24 October.

Australian club members are working with the Global Poverty Project

on a petition drive aimed at persuading world leaders

 to fully fund the critical work of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative.

 Supporters can sign the petition online.

The Global Poverty Project has scheduled an End of Polio Concert on 28 October

 to coincide with the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Perth, Australia.

 Rotarians have joined with the group to lobby leaders to put polio eradication on the meeting agenda.

 Hugh Evans, cofounder and CEO of the Global Poverty Project,

 is a scheduled speaker at the 2012 RI Convention in Bangkok, Thailand, in May.

"Global collaboration has ensured that eradication is within reach," says Michael Sheldrick,

 the group's polio campaign manager and a member of the Rotary Club of Crawley, Western Australia.

 "Our generation has a chance to realize a historic opportunity

and ensure that no one else ever has to fear this disease.

That’s why it’s vital we commit to finish the job."
