18.01.2022 The Nomads on the Polio eradication trail in Nuriootpa!

15.01.2022 Kapunda Town Square, Friday 13th November from 10.00 am until 3.30 pm. The eradication of polio is one of Rotary International's longest standing and most signi...ficant efforts. Along with our partners, we have helped immunize more than 2.5 billion children against polio in 122 countries. We have reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent worldwide and we won't stop until we end the disease for good. To raise awareness and assist with ending Polio, the Rotary Club of Kapunda will be displaying the ute and a trailer which contains a functioning iron lung in the Kapunda Town Square on Friday 13th November from 10.00 am until 3.30 pm. Come and view the display, throw a $ in our bucket to support ending Polio in the world. What is the Iron Lung? Large polio epidemics caused panic every summer during the 1940s and 50s in industrialised countries including Australia. At that time, people with polio affecting the respiratory muscles were immobilized inside iron lungs huge metal cylinders that operated like a pair of bellows to regulate their breathing and keep them alive. Today, the iron lung has largely been replaced by the positive pressure ventilator; nevertheless, it is still in use in some countries. See more

14.01.2022 Guess where the Polio Ute is? Good guess, hope you will make it here as well.

13.01.2022 Continue the journey to eradicate polio. People of action achieve more.

13.01.2022 On April 12, 1955, international headlines rang out Victory over Polio when the vaccine developed by Jonas Salk and his team at the University of Pittsburgh w...as declared safe and effective after the largest medical field trial in history. And 60 years later, the triumphs of this vaccine are still helping millions of children worldwide. Let's finish the fight for global polio eradication www.endpolio.org

13.01.2022 After an incredible day in Clare yesterday and a sleepover the Ute is ready to be passed over to Area 5. From the clubs in Area 3 we wish you the best of luck

09.01.2022 Afghanistan may be one of the hardest countries in the world to deliver healthcare, but Rotary International and our partners are making great progress to #endpolio in Afghanistan, including amazing advocacy efforts by Rotary members in Japan.

07.01.2022 Very sad to learn that three polio eradication workers in Afghanistan were murdered while undertaking a round of immunisation in Jalalabad. Our cause owes a great debt to all who undertake this dangerous work, and Nagina, Basira and Samina are the latest heroes in this quest.

06.01.2022 In light of COVID-19, many #WorldPolioDay events need to be virtual. A bike ride event could easily be adapted for participants to cycle around their separate n...eighborhoods and log miles as a club. Get inspiration from the Rotary Club of Cebu on event planning and displaying awareness materials around the city: endpol.io/c3bu See more

06.01.2022 Thanks to our donors, we have awarded more than $4 million in support of 178 disaster response grants that are directly helping local COVID-19 efforts. Your dedication to doing good is making an impact in our communities around the world. #GivingTuesdayNow #RotaryResponds

The raffle was also drawn at the Hub and the prize winners were: 1st prize Lesley Rocklyn Hillcrest 2nd prize Phil Smith St Peters 3rd prize Silvia O’Connor Roxby Downs 4th Prize Fergus Kelso 5th prize Greg Carey 6th prize RC Mildura/Merbein 7th prize Greg Honeychurch 8th prize Debbie Scott

02.01.2022 2 years ago today, world leaders gathered with Rotary International & other Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) partners in Atlanta to pledge over $1.2 b...illion to help #EndPolio.
