Foundation Facts

THE ROTARY FOUNDATION WEEKLY MESSAGES (By Rotarians for Rotarians) POLIO PLUS IS A SIGNATURE PROGRAM OF THE ROTARY FOUNDATION. PolioPlus is Rotary’s priority program which supports global efforts to eradicate polio. It was launched in 1985, with the help of Dr. Albert Sabin, developer of the oral polio vaccine, as a worldwide program to protect children from the cruel and fatal consequences of polio. In 1988, the World Health Assembly challenged the world to eradicate polio, and since that time, Rotary’s efforts, along with partner agencies, including the World Health Organization, the United Nations’ Children’s Fund, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and governments around the world have achieved a 99 percent reduction in the number of polio cases worldwide. By the time the world is certified polio-free, our contributions will make Rotary the largest non-governmental financial contributor to the global polio eradication effort.

Joke of the Week An older man approached an attractive young woman at a shopping mall. “Excuse me, I can’t seem to find my wife. Could you talk to me a for a couple of minutes?” The woman, feeling a bit of compassion for the old fellow, said “Of course, sir, do you know where your wife might be?” “I have no idea, but every time I talk to a woman with a figure like yours, she seems to appear out of nowhere.”

Rotary International News

Right at home By Nikki Kallio

In December 2002, after 25 years of homelessness, drug addiction, and time in prison, Alan Evans was desperate. He had been contemplating suicide. Instead, he decided to get arrested again. So, he made some fake checks on his computer and tried to cash them at a grocery store in Seaside, on the Oregon coast. When Evans got caught, Sergeant Mark Whistler of the Clatsop County Sheriff’s Department recognized the crime for what it was: a cry for help. Whistler told him, “You’re not a bad person. You’re just sick.” He urged Evans to get help. Evans took the advice and got clean.

In 2004, Evans started a nonprofit called Thugz Off Drugz that offered services to other ex-convicts who were struggling with homelessness and addiction. But after the economic crash in 2008, he started to see a new group of people — people who had never been in trouble with the law or involved with drugs. “The face of homelessness changed then,” Evans says. “Average people were falling out of the system.”

Evans realized that he needed to make some changes to the program. For one thing, the name didn’t fit anymore — not with senior citizens and moms and children in need of help. And it needed to serve more people. In 2004, the organization ran one shelter with eight beds. Today, it’s called Helping Hands and it operates 11 facilities with more than 200 beds in four Oregon counties. One of the members of the Helping Hands board, Mike Caruso, was a Rotarian, and in 2008, Caruso invited Evans to a District 5100 conference to try to persuade Rotary to help his organization. At the conference, Evans saw a video about polio eradication and decided to join Rotary. “I wanted to be like that,” he says. “I had spent my life surviving and wanting to change, and I didn’t realize that change happens when we give.” Evans joined the club in 2010. This June, he finished a stint as club president. “When I first joined Rotary, I was scared to death. I didn’t ever think I would be accepted by this group of people,” Evans says. “But I was wrong. I was welcomed with open arms, and this is my family now.”
