In recognition of World Polio Day, the Rotary Club of Bronxville, in collaboration with the Scarsdale and Larchmont, and Bronxville Women's Club, has invited Mike McGovern, Chair of Rotary International Polio Plus Committee, to speak at the Bronxville Library Yeager auditorium the evening of November 7th, from 7 pm - 8:30 pm.
As the largest volunteer service organization in the world, Rotary International embarked on a mission to rid the world of polio, an infectious disease that at its peak killed or paralyzed hundreds of thousands of people every year. In 2022 Rotary International contributed $86 million to close critical protection gaps. Mike has been involved in the international effort to eradicate polio 40 years ago. He will talk about what is going on in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the issues involving oral vaccine and injection immunization efforts. DRFC (7230) Eric Storberg will be the guest Emcee for this event. All are welcome.
