Vaccines have made diseases like polio and measles unfamiliar to many families. But grandparents who lived through them remember. This #WorldImmunizationDay, 6,000 members of Grandparents for Vaccines are helping keep those memories alive. 🔗 on.rotary.org/4zbER9F

Big ideas don’t have an age requirement💡📚 At 15, Interactor Akarshana Sathish has helped create 24 libraries and donated more than 16,000 books, working alongside community members and Rotary to ensure each library reflects what local children need. Her next goal? 100 libraries. During World Interact Week, we’re celebrating young leaders like Akarshana who aren’t waiting for the future to create change. They’ve already started. on.rotary.org/4BKhF4Z

Members of the Rotary Club of Evanston Nouveau created a beer to help @EndPolioNow 🍺 What started as a local partnership became a creative way to introduce new people to Rotary's mission. Working with Sketchbook Brewing Company, they created Purple Pinkie, a limited-edition beer that raises awareness and support for polio eradication. 🔗 on.rotary.org/4fZsQ0H

The first Rotary International polio immunization project occurred in the Philippines in 1979—and we're still working to eradicate polio today. Archivists play a crucial role in preserving the stories of yesterday that inspire us to take action today. #EndPolio #WorldPolioDay
