October Rotary Theme is Economic and Community Development.
As Rotary members, we share the same goal: make meaningful change in communities around the world. Some of the most difficult challenges to make a difference for the good of all are ending polio. Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 45 years, and our goal of ridding the Earth of this disease is within reach. We started in 1979 with vaccinations for 6 million children in the Philippines. Today, Afghanistan and Pakistan are the only countries where polio remains endemic.
