| A case of type 1 polio has been reported in the Banadir region of Somalia, the country’s first case since March 2007. In response, an immunization campaign took place 14-16 May, aimed at reaching more than 350,000 children in the Banadir region. The Polio Eradication and Endgame Strategic Plan 2013-18 is designed to achieve the certification of polio eradication by the end of 2018, strengthen routine immunization, and transfer the eradication initiative’s assets to other public health efforts. Rotary International, along with the World Health Organization, UNICEF, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, are partners in the GPEI.
The new plan will cost $5.5 billion. Governments, nongovernmental organizations, foundations, and other donors announced about US$4 billion
commitments during the Global Vaccine Summit in Abu Dhabi 24-25 April.

Membership Committee: Rotarian of the Year: Each is encouraged to nominate a member of our club who they believe should be recognized as the Rotarian of this Rotary year, July 1st 2012 to June 30th 2013. Since we’ve had the meeting last week, Will Gibson has emailed each member concerning the nomination of Rotarian of the Year. The award will be presented at President’s night on June 26th. Brandy called Kim O’Grady to the front of the room and together they presented the Rotarian award for the month of April to a hard working “Rotarian” who has done a lot of work to keep us legal with the legal authorities in the association with Youth and their programming.......Barb White. Congratulations!!

 Ross Kirwin – told us that our Peter Redwood has been nominated for the Prime Minister’s Volunteer Award by the Town of Huntsville. From the website the definition is as follows:
“The Prime Minister's Volunteer Awards were created for two main reasons: first, to recognize exceptional contributions that individual volunteers, not-for-profit organizations and local businesses make to improve the well-being of families and their communities; and second, to highlight the best practices in community leadership that these outstanding volunteers have developed.”
Congratulations Peter!! You certainly fit the criteria. We’ll all keep our fingers crossed for you. |

 Just another Rotary Road trip to investigate potential service projects: Ross Kirwin, Debbie & Chris Knobelsdorf, Dave & Brandy Van Gelder, Nick, Rob Saunders, Ted Knobelsdorf & his partner out for a ride in the name of Rotary! They visited the Magnetawan Centennial Park.
There sure isn’t much in the “Mag” after the big fire that leveled the whole central part of town!! Will there be a report of ideas for development in the “Mag” that our club could be involved in?? Contact Princess Debbie K. for more information and further activities of Rotary’s Hog Riders & Friends. |

Cam white spoke briefly of an idea that our club can participate with The Muskoka Conservancy a volunteer-based, charitable organization whose mandate is to protect, conserve and nurture Muskoka’s natural and cultural environment now and for future generations. They believe in working with our community to create and support a vibrant Muskoka that honors the traditions of the community and protects our natural environment. They carry out four fundamental programs: land protection, private land stewardship, education/outreach, and habitat restoration. The Butterfly gardens create important habitat for the group of species that is important to pollinating many native plant species. The Conservancy wants to create a butterfly garden on Fairy View Drive which is the street up behind Kawartha Dairy on Highway # 60. Our club would provide time and labour to do planting projects that would attract the butterflies. This project would come under the activity of the Environmental Committee which has picked purple loose strife along highway #11 to reduce its spread into our wetlands and organizes the annual litter pick-up along Golf Course Road and Highway # 60 over the last several years. The Club members supported this new proposal idea in a show of hands at last week’s evening meeting. Please refer to the attachment for the full project idea. |
