MEETING REPORT 3434
This weeks topic at our Rotary Club of Murray Bridge dinner meeting focused on a video resulting from a presentation by Shaikh Mohammad Tawhidi, an influencer and reformist, to the Rotary Club of Adelaide some 4 years ago. Rotarian Robin LeGallez introduced the video as an Australian Shia Muslim with the aim to spread peace. Shaikh Mohammad Tawhidi touched on many issues which were very thought provoking and controversial. He touched on reformation, corruption, hypocrisy, radicalization, book censorship, the silent majority, Australian Law, Australian multiculturalism, history, and the problems of ideology. The Muslim religion has 73 denominations, Christians have 74 and the Jews 72 he said. He spoke about the differences between guidance and governance.

End Polio Now
In 1985 Rotary launched PolioPlus to immunize every child in the world against polio. Working with our partners and members of the global health community, together we will end polio.
Through the science of vaccines, Rotary & partners have saved nearly 19 million children from becoming paralyzed by polio. Learn more about our work to End Polio Now and how you can get involved: https://on.rotary.org/3eqtrrr
Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years, and we’ve made incredible progress in the fight to rid the world of it forever.
It’s crucial to eradicate polio from the last two countries where it remains endemic and to keep other countries polio-free.
If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year.
What is polio?
Polio, or poliomyelitis, is a paralyzing and potentially deadly infectious disease that most commonly affects children under the age of 5. The virus spreads from person to person, typically through contaminated water. It can then attack the nervous system.
