Reminder: Polio Movie Event

With so many lockdowns around Australia and New Zealand, the Polio Movie Event scheduled for December was postponed. The movie, THE DUKE, will now launch to the public on 31 March but is available as a pre-release for Rotary clubs from Rotary’s birthday, 23rd February.

The film distributor has just contacted cinemas advising they should expect to hear from their local Rotary club. Please encourage clubs to make a booking and arrange an event.

Clubs can download the trailer and marketing materials; and there’s also a Rotary video that cinemas can download to show prior to the event (1.2GB).

Attached is a wonderful letter from RI President Shekar Mehta and Trustee Chair John Germ to Rotarians in Pakistan about the progress on ending Polio.
