The board unanimously adopted a proclamation recognizing the Crescent City opening ceremony for Rotary District 5100's Polio Now Torch Relay (October 2) and designating October 24 as World Polio Day.
A Rotary representative told the board the event will begin at Battery Point Lighthouse at 2:00 p.m. on October 2 and that Rotary fundraising is leveraged by a matching commitment from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. "On October 2 at 2:00 in the afternoon at the lighthouse, we'll have an opening ceremony for our torch relay," a Rotary speaker said, inviting supervisors to attend.
The proclamation recites Rotary's global role in polio eradication, notes historical contributions and the Gates Foundation match, and formally recognizes the local event and World Polio Day.
