In the past year, a new idea has been developed to assist raise funds for PolioPlus. In Australia it's called the Clem Renouf END POLIO NOW Club. In New Zealand it's called the Bill Boyd END POLIO NOW Club.

The idea is very simple, ask every member of your club to contribute a minimum of $ 10 AUD or NZD, and use the attached Form to send to the staff in Sydney by emailing risppo@rotary.org

On Monday, October 11, I told the members of my Rotary EClub of Outback Australiaabout the Clem Renouf END POLIO NOW Club. I then asked the members for $10 each. If they didn't have $10 in their purse or wallet, I said I would add it to their January half-year club dues. One hundred percent response! The next day, I filled out the Form and sent it to RISPPO (Rotary International South Pacific and Philippines Office) together with the contributions (by direct debit). With 19 members, that's another AUD$190 toward the campaign to eliminate polio.

PDG Greg challenges all Club Presidents to “Just ask your fellow club members".
