 April 25, global leaders and philanthropists signaled their confidence in a new polio endgame strategy by pledging close to three-quarters of the plan’s projected US$5.5 billion cost to eradicate polio within the next six years. The new plan capitalizes on the best opportunity to eradicate polio, with the number of children paralyzed by this disease at the lowest level ever: just 223 cases in 2012 and only 22 so far this year.

The Rotary motto 'Service Above Self' inspires members to provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards, and promote good will and peace in the world. The END POLIO project to eradicate polio from the world is Rotary's biggest humanitarian & international service project with the help of the Gates Foundation, Rotarians, the World Health Organization, UNICEF and you. Today for the second year in a row, India is without polio cases. For the past two years India is polio free, a major achievement in the country that was once the world's epicentre of polio. The number of polio-endemic countries, those which have never stopped indigenous wild poliovirus transmission, are Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan. Rotarians give up time and their own money to travel and immunize children against polio on a (NID) National Immunization Day in these countries. An NID is a massive, coordinated campaign that aims to interrupt the circulation of poliovirus by administering the oral vaccine to every child in thehighest risk age group (normally under the age of five). Polio-usually organize multiple rounds of NIDs annually for at least three years. |

Fellow Rotarian and upcoming guest speaker Larry Emrich participated in our District 5240's National Immunization Day (NID) in the Uttar Pradesh region with Anil Garg this past February. Larry will be our guest speaker on June 8th.
From his journal he writes, I have a hard time with India. The cities large and small are enormously impacted with people, motorcycles, rickshaws, cars, trucks, buses, vehicles of all kinds, propelled by internal combustion engines, water pumps, and camels, and yet there is a peace there, a pervasive serenity. You can find it; you can feel it in the commotion, the traffic, the ubiquitous horns, the bumpy roads and, in February, the dust. You can see it in the movements of the people, in the eyes of the old men, in the pace of life. At least, I feel it, but never at first. It seeps into one’s soul after days of restless sleep, after driving hours to get a few hundred kilometers, after walking countless blocks and inhaling pounds of dust, after seeing the kids, after following the health care workers in the villages as they perform their duties, door to door, talking with parents and vaccinating all the children against polio. India is an enigma: serene and chaotic. |

Have you read, The Rotarian magazine? A featured article tells us that RI has signed a project partnership with ShelterBox.
Rotary International and ShelterBox, a grassroots disaster relief organization, signed a project partner agreement this month, allowing the two organizations to collaborate more closely to provide relief and temporary shelter to survivors of natural disasters.
Each ShelterBox typically provides a tent designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, stove, water purification kit, blankets, tools, and other necessities to help a family survive for six months or more after a disaster.

Why are you a Rotarian? Is it the fund-raisers, the commitment to Local Projects like giving books to our local schools, the drinking water fountain at the Skate Park, the Holiday Dinner in December, and scholarships to Morro Bay high school seniors or International Projects, environmental concerns or is it the Fellowship? Whatever your passion, as a Rotarian it is up to you to remain active and join your fellow members in weekly meetings, projects and fund-raisers to keep this Club's spirit strong. Everyone can do something, the task does not need to be grand, and together we can accomplish great things as Rotarians. Showcase your talents by volunteering in a project or share a new idea at the monthly Board meeting to let President Annie what your interest are. |

Congratulations to the Rotary Club of Los Osos! As of June 2009, they have collected over 20 tons of e-waste. 40,000 pounds of computers, televisions, VCRs, stereos, copiers, fax machines and cell phones were the common electronic products collected on a Saturday morning in January or June. Some of these items would have remained in garages, the side of the road or our local landfills. Of the 40,000 pounds, 26% silica or glass, 23% plastics, 20% Ferrous metal, 14% aluminum, and 17% of various metals including lead, cooper, zinc, mercury and cadmium. It is a good idea to look at e-waste not as waste, but as resource. Useful materials such as glass, copper, and aluminum, plastic and other components can often be extracted and reused. Some manufacturers have even referred to e-waste as a valuable source of materials. This is the Club's Community Service Project and fund-raiser. |
