Gov. LePage Signs "Rotary End Polio Now Week" Proclamation

District Governor Deb Walters announced Monday, October 24 that Maine's Governor Paul LePage signed a proclamation declaring this week as "Rotary End Polio Week" in Maine. The picture shows DG Deb and DG Gary Spears of District 7780 with the Governor as he signed the proclamation. She added that through the hard work of many Rotarians, we are fortunate to have this happen and to have the National Assembly in Quebec make the same proclamation on Tuesday. There are many club events this week to raise awareness about our efforts to end Polio, and the district  will be issuing a press release about them. The recent news on our efforts to end Polio is good - the number of new cases is dropping. In India there has only been one new case since January. It would be wonderful if that girl was the last person to contract Polio in India.
