December Designation
Rotary International's December designation is Disease Prevention and Treatment Month. This month highlights one of Rotary's seven areas of focus, and Rotarians are dedicated to helping people live healthy lives. Some activities that may take place during this month include:
- Organizing medical camps for health awareness
- Celebrating World AIDS Day on December 1
- Celebrating International Day of Disabled Persons on December 3
Rotary's signature project in this area is Polio Eradication, and other priorities include promoting peace, poverty, illiteracy, and malnutrition.
