Rotary’s World Polio Day live-streamed
event is a huge success
NOVEMBER 2014
Minda Dentler, a polio survivor and Ironman competitor, describes her personal battle against the disease. Dentler, who contracted polio as a child in India, in 2013 became the first female handcyclist to complete the grueling Ironman World Championship.
More than 23,000 viewers in 24 countries tuned in to Rotary's World Polio Day event, streamed live on 24 October. Health officials including James Alexander, senior medical epidemiologist for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, gave an update on the polio eradication campaign and praised Rotary's achievements to date. Rotary has contributed more
than $1.2 billion to polio eradication since 1979. For World Polio Day, Rotary released $44.7 million in grants to fight the disease in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. In addition to the update, the event included entertainment by reggae star Ziggy Marley and Tessanne Chin, 2013 winner of the TV show "The Voice."

District Challenge Match is ON! Watch your inbox for an announcement from District Foundation Chair Lou Mello about the 2014-15

Rotary’s response to the Ebola outbreak
• Through our investments in the polio eradication infrastructure in Nigeria, the government was able to help stop the outbreak of Ebola. The polio surveillance network – used to monitor cases for polio – is being employed to identify and track suspected Ebola cases and has contributed to Nigeria's successful response. It is important to remember that Nigeria is still one of three polio endemic countries and we must continue our efforts on eradicating polio to prevent new outbreaks.
• Rotary leadership continues to reach out to Rotarians in affected regions to determine how we can strengthen our response. Additionally, Rotary has created a working group to review the results of our findings, and help guide our outreach efforts.
• In addition to our global organizational plans, Rotary members are being mobilized on the ground to help prevent the spread of Ebola and other major diseases. The Rotary Club of Monrovia, for example is working directly with the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare in Liberia to enhance local support for Ebola patients, health workers, and support personnel. Rotarians are soliciting funds to buy locally available items, providing much needed transportation, tracking potential Ebola cases, and supporting the reintegration of those who have recovered from the virus. Funding for the Monrovia project will also be used for local vehicle repair, fuel, medicine, mattresses, buckets, and other supplies. The Monrovia club has asked for donations of gowns, gloves, face masks, shoe covers, plastic boots, and, sadly, body bags.
Rotarians and friends of Rotary can also support our broader efforts to address public health concerns by contributing to the Rotary Foundation's disease prevention and treatment fund. Contributions can be made securely online by selecting the Annual Fund option. They can be made in a variety of currencies, and are eligible for Paul Harris Fellow recognition. While these gifts may not contribute directly to current Ebola relief efforts, they will be put to effective use to support Rotary's ongoing commitment to prevent disease and improve access to health care around the world.
Rotary News
Rotary continues to closely monitor the latest developments surrounding the Ebola outbreak, and work with the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other partners to respond to both polio and Ebola. Fighting disease is a priority of our members, who have organized countless projects around the world aimed at educating and mobilizing communities to prevent the spread of major diseases such as polio, HIV/AIDS, and malaria. While our response to Ebola continues to evolve, much has already been accomplished:

reflect on the fact that we are #1 in the U.S. in Foundation giving and #6 in the WORLD in Foundation contributions!! Just think, a state in the U.S. known for its economic challenges, and a portion of the state most noted for unemployment and low per capita income, rises to the top when we are asked to give. We are generous people who understand the concept of giving to others when possible. Won’t you join me in November as we focus on giving and sharing? There is a world out there in need of our help and our assistance. Our Foundation is but one way in which to deliver to those most in need. Make a gift today – give generously! Happy Thanksgiving!
DG Jimmie Williamson’s November Message Charity – a noun:
1. The voluntary giving of help, typically in the form of money, to those in need. 2. an organization set up to provide help and raise money for those in need. As we view our Rotary Foundation, we must essentially view it as “our charity”. The Rotary Foundation is our way to give help to those who need it the most and a way to raise money for those in need. We are generous and philanthropic people; people who recognized that there are others whose needs are much greater than our own. This month, as we look at the Rotary Foundation, I urge EACH of you to give generously. Our Foundation is an excellent steward of the money we give, consistently receiving high marks on GuideStar, the non-profit barometer of foundations who deliver on their stated purpose. I am proud of our district in SO MANY ways, but especially proud when I
