End Polio Now Commercial

End Polio Now TV commercial filmed in Farmington. 

A special thank you to Jill McQueary who set up a great opportunity with Comcast Cable to promote Rotary and the End Polio Now campaign.  The commercial was filmed in Farmington during my club visits.  The commercial is scheduled to air in the next couple of weeks on Comcast Cable only.  Another example of how we can get the word out about the wonderful work of Rotarians. I was honored to be a part of this.
