President Esther Roadnight OAM

Thank you once again to PP Ross for looking after the two meetings last week. It certainly relieved a whole heap of stress knowing that the Club was in good hands when I had to get to Perth. The surgeon was having no argument about being busy he just said a bed has been booked in Hollywood for you and I'll see you tonight or tomorrow morning. So I did as I was told!!

A huge thank you to George who has always been there for me. I was majorly stressed on Monday when told I HAD to be in Perth on Monday night and a hospital bed was booked for me. All George said was what needs to be done - I'll do it. So, as he has done many times in the past 20+ years I have been in Rotary, he became a Rotarian and stepped in.

In particular, he looked after our visitors from St Jude's School in Tanzania. He did some sightseeing with them, took them to the Joint Meeting Tuesday night, took them to breakfast Wednesday morning, to Kambalda Primary, took them to lunch then to O'Connor Primary School. Had them rest up at home for a while before taking them to their flight to Perth.

I was disappointed to miss the tour of the Kalgoorlie Courthouse. I believe Katrina gave a very informative talk and all enjoyed seeing through the facility. I am sure if Cherie took some photos they will be included in the Bulletin.

George tells me the Joint meeting went well and that President John made a very imposing Masai!

Thank you to Ross for following up with members about doing breakfast for R4L participants, etc. It is with reluctance that it has been decided that between the three Rotary Clubs we would not have enough helpers to be able to do justice to providing the breakfast and the integrity of Rotary would be damaged by not being able to provide the quality of service required. This is a shame as this event would be a great event to showcase Rotary. As I have indicated to the Board I only received a phone call on 9 October asking if Rotary would do the breakfast when I was away after my surgery. Very difficult for me as I was away. Thank you Ross and towards the end Gloria for your work on this.

Rotary Club of Kalgoorlie meets at the Tower Hotel on Mondays at 6.00pm for 6.30pm. Visitors welcome!

Rotary Club of Kalgoorlie

Apparently a letter, dated 4 September, was sent to Rotary, but it was not sent to the Club PO Box it was sent to the Tower. A letter that I have not yet seen! I have been sent an email copy. This delayed us being able to do any planning for a month. Discussion will take place with the organisers of R4L and if Rotary are to be asked to provide breakfast at future R4L events then we will request that we are asked much earlier in the planning process.

On 3 November our Guest Speaker will be Diane Blade, Regional Manager for Department for Housing. Then on 10 November Mike Lee will Speak to us about Police Forensics.

The Goldfields Foundation Grants Seminar will be taking place on Sunday 16 November at a venue and time to be advised. All members who can would be encourage to attend.

Our next Vocational visit is to the Kalgoorlie Cemetery on 17 November. This will be an early visit as the cemetery has to be locked at dusk. It is hoped most members will be able to plan so they can attend what will be an interesting and informative visit. After the tour we will go back to the Tower for dinner. If members cannot attend the site visit then they should consider joining us for dinner. Boulder and Hannans Rotarians have been invited to join us for this Vocational visit and dinner. A sheet will go around during the next few meetings so members can indicate if they will be attending.

See you all Monday at the meeting .

Enjoy the rest of your week as you Light up Rotary.

From President Esther ...

ROTARY MARKS WORLD POLIO DAY WITH US$44.7 MILLION IN GRANTS TO FIGHT POLIO IN AFRICA, ASIA AND THE MIDDLE EAST

With the world “This Close”—99%—to eliminating polio from the planet, the effort is receiving an additional US$ 44.7 million boost from Rotary to support immunization activities, surveillance, and research spearheaded by the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, which aims to end the disabling viral disease worldwide by 2018.

Polio is set to become the second human disease ever to be eliminated from the world (smallpox is the first). To date, Rotary has helped 193 countries stop the transmission of polio through the mass immunization of children. Rotary’s new funding commitment, announced in advance of the Oct. 24 observance of World Polio Day 2014, targets countries where children remain at risk of contracting this incurable, but totally vaccine-preventable, disease.

“It is fitting that this round of Rotary grants coincides with World Polio Day, which we use to raise awareness of -- and support for – the global campaign to end this terrible disease once and for all,” said Rotary International General Secretary John Hewko, the organization’s top executive. “Rotary is committed to relegating polio to the history books, and we welcome everyone’s support as we move ever closer to our goal of a polio-free world.”

He noted that the end-game strategy against polio includes the introduction of inactivated, injectable polio vaccine to supplement the progress achieved through the immunization of 2.5 billion children with the oral polio vaccine. Leading that effort is Sanofi Pasteur, the largest manufacturer of polio vaccine and co-sponsor with Rotary of a special program in Chicago on World Polio Day.

“As more than 120 countries in the world are introducing the Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV), we are beginning the last chapter on polio eradication,” said Olivier Charmeil, Sanofi Pasteur chief executive officer. “At Sanofi Pasteur, we have had a long-term vision of IPV as the ultimate public health tool able to finish the job started with Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV). Today we are honored to stand alongside Rotary, the historical partner in the battle against polio.”

About $18.5 million will go to the three remaining polio-endemic countries: Afghanistan ($7.4 million) Nigeria ($8.4 million), and Pakistan ($2.7 million). An endemic country is one where the wild poliovirus has never been stopped.

Another $9.5 million is marked for previously polio-free countries currently reporting cases “imported” from the endemic countries: Cameroon ($3.5 million), Ethiopia ($2 million), and Somalia ($4 million).

And $10.4 million will go to polio-free countries that remain at risk of reinfection: Democratic Republic of Congo ($1.5 million), India ($4.9 million), Niger ($1 million), South Sudan ($2 million), and Sudan ($1 million).

The remaining $6.3 million will go toward polio eradication research.

Rotary provides grant funding to polio eradication initiative partners UNICEF and the World Health Organization, which work with the governments and Rotary club members of polio-affected countries to plan and carry out immunization activities. Mass immunizations of children via the oral polio vaccine must continue until global eradication is achieved.

To date, Rotary has contributed more than $1.3 billion to fight polio. Through 2018, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will match two-to-one every dollar Rotary commits to polio eradication (up to $35 million a year). As of 2013, there were only 416 confirmed polio cases in the world, down from about 350,000 a year when the initiative launched in 1988.
