To sustain a 100% PolioPlus Society club, Clubs can consider these strategies:
1. Annual commitment: Ensure every member commits to donating at least $100 annually.
2. Regular reminders: Send reminders about the importance of polio eradication and donation deadlines.
3. Fundraising events: Organise events like Arise for Polio to engage members and raise funds.
4. Leadership support: Encourage club leaders to champion the cause and promote member participation.
5. Member engagement: Foster a sense of community and shared responsibility among members.
6. Recognition: Celebrate members’ contributions and recognise their impact.
7. Education: Keep members informed about polio eradication progress and challenges.
Rotary Club of Accra Airport shares that by implementing these strategies, a club can maintain its commitment to polio eradication and continue making a meaningful impact.
