With World Polio Day coming up on 24 October, we are pleased to welcome PDG Joanne Schilling, District PolioPlus Chair, who will provide an update on the global effort to eradicate polio, the impact Rotary continues to make through PolioPlus, and how clubs and members can support this vital initiative.

Polio remains endemic in only a small number of countries, and Rotary's commitment to eradication continues to make a significant impact worldwide.

🎥 A Message from Jennifer Jones - Let's Reach US$1 Million Together!

District Governor Rita Zappulla has set an ambitious goal: US$1 million in giving to The Rotary Foundation in 2026-2027.

In this special message, Rotary Foundation Trustee Chair and Past Rotary International President Jennifer Jones reminds us of the incredible impact our Foundation has around the world. From protecting children from polio and providing clean water, to supporting education, peacebuilding and disaster recovery, every contribution helps Rotary create lasting change.

Jennifer has already made her gift for the year and is encouraging Rotary leaders and members to do the same. As we continue our journey towards the US$1 million milestone, every donation, regardless of size, brings us one step closer to achieving this remarkable goal.

On 3 March 2027, we will come together in Cairns at the Dollar Foundation Gala Dinner, where Jennifer Jones will join us in person to celebrate this historic achievement and recognise the generosity of Rotarians and supporters across our district.

If you haven't yet made your contribution to The Rotary Foundation this Rotary year, now is the perfect time.

💙 Every gift matters.
💛 Every donor matters.
🌏 Every contribution changes lives.

Let's work together to acheive DG Rita's goal!
