On 23 February 1905, Paul P. Harris, Gustavus Loehr, Silvester Schiele, and Hiram E. Shorey gathered in Loehr's office for what would become known as the first Rotary club meeting. Harris' desire for camaraderie among business associates brought together these four men and eventually led to an international organization of service and fellowship.
Throughout the week of 23 February, in honor of Rotary's anniversary, Rotary clubs and districts will be illuminating landmarks around the world with the End Polio Now message. This year, the landmarks include:
The Water and Power Development Building in Lahore, Pakistan
Frere Hall in Karachi, Pakistan
Roppongi Hills Skyscraper in Tokyo, Japan
Federation Square in Melbourne, Australia
City Hall in San Juan, Puerto Rico. | | Posted by Mark Jak on Jan 11, 2011

Rotary International has succeeded in meeting the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s US$200 million match in funding for polio eradication, raising more than $202.6 million as of 17 January. “We’ll celebrate this milestone, but it doesn’t mean that we’ll stop raising money or spreading the word about polio eradication,” Rotary Foundation Trustee John F. Germ told Rotary leaders at the International Assembly in San Diego, California, USA. “We can’t stop until our entire world is certified as polio-free.” The fundraising milestone was reached in response to $355 million in challenge grants awarded to The Rotary Foundation by the Gates Foundation. All funds have been earmarked to support polio immunization activities in affected countries where the vaccine-preventable disease continues to paralyze children. “In recognition of Rotary’s great work, and to inspire Rotarians in the future, the [Gates] foundation is committing an additional $50 million to extend our partnership,” said Jeff Raikes, chief executive officer of the Gates Foundation. “Rotary started the global fight against polio, and continues to set the tone for private fundraising, grassroots engagement, and maintaining polio at the top of the agenda with key policymakers.” Raikes also addressed Rotary leaders at the International Assembly. The new $50 million grant from the Gates Foundation is not a challenge grant. | | Posted by Mark Jak on Jul 27, 2010
