Two years ago Rotary International embarked on another major fund raising drive for the eradication of polio. A challenge was made by the Gates Foundation that if Rotary International could raise $200 million by June 30, 2012, the Gates Foundation would match the $200 million. By the end of January 2012, Rotary International had raised the $200 million which matched the challenge six months ahead of the agreed date. The Gates Foundation,, and Bill Gates Sr in person, delivered the matching funds to Rotary International and then placed another $50 million donation from the Gates Foundation on top. There are results on the work against polio. India has not had a new case of polio in over a year. There are now only three countries remaining with reports of new cases of polio. | | Posted by Ken Small on Mar 27, 2012
The March 27 program was presented by President and CEO Jim Webb. Jim gave us an update on the efforts of Lower Valley to make the goal of 30% reduction in power demand a reality. Energy conservation is still the least expense approach to saving energy. To that end, Lower Valley has several programs that members can review by going to the LVE website. Lower Valley also delivers natural gas into Jackson Hole. Source switching from electric heat to natural gas heat contributes to limiting the growth of electrical demand in JH. We enjoy some of the least expensive electricity in the nation. We all benefit by keeping our electrical use in check; the alternative is that Lower Valley must procure electricity from far more expensive sources than their long term contract. | | Posted by Ken Small on Mar 20, 2012
Jackson Hole Rotary held its regular meeting at the National Museum of Wildlife Art on March 20. The program was presented by President Jim who is also the President and CEO of the museum. The museum displays large collections of Carl Ringus and Bob Kuhn. We enjoyed a brief history of the museum and introduced to the recent construction. We all need to return to the museum frequently through the summer as sculptures are installed along the new trail. | | Posted by Tim J. Bradley on Nov 08, 2011
District Governor Mary McCambridge spoke at our November 8 lunch meeting. DG Mary is a senior vice president at Home State Bank in Loveland, Colorado and is a former president of her home club of Rotary Club of Loveland. Her talk emphasized Family, Continuity of Rotary, and Change. As Gandhi said, we should all be the change we wish to see in the world.
Mary is a strong proponent of literacy, and challenged the club to conceive a literacy project this year. She pledged her support in getting a matching district grant for any project we put forward.
Thank you DG Mary, for taking the time to come visit our club and share your inspiration with us. We'll see you at the District Conference. | | Posted by Tim J. Bradley on Nov 08, 2011
An early heads up for all to make plans to attend the 2012 District Conference in Estes Park, Colorado this summer! The conference will be on June 7-9, 2012, and the Rotary International President will be speaking. It's very unusual for the International President to attend a District Conference, so this will be a very special event.
