President’s Message
October 2015
Economic and Community Development Month
It is fitting that we support the PBA Trade Show in October and that our Family Fun Day
is in October. Both of these efforts are intended to increase our visibility with the area
businesses and show our support to a strong economy and community.
Economic and Community Development is the Rotary theme for October. Whether we
know it or not we do a lot to foster the economics of our community. We consciously
support our local businesses. We joined the chambers of commerce to increase our
outreach to the business community but this also shows our support for the larger
community. Many of our members are leaders of business and the connections and
relationships we foster support the development and growth of strong economies.
In our Strategic Plan we have a requirement to increase our outreach efforts. This is
intended to make sure the businesses and other service organizations are aware of what
we do and see where we can join together in coordination to multiply the effect our projects
can have. Myself, the President Elect, and the President Elect Elect have discussed the
establishment of an Outreach Committee chaired by the immediate past president. This
position would further the contact and outreach effort of the president after they leave
office. This is in line with the current structure where the President Elect is the chair of
membership that gives the club leadership a direct stake in developing a membership
plan, executing the plan and club growth, and, if we establish this new position and
sequence, supporting outreach goals with business and the community. We think this will
provide continuity over a rolling 3 year period and should help us to both be more visible
in the community and to increase our membership.
Our club nights will have a portion of the agenda set aside to discuss the strategic plan
and how we execute the goals we have set. This topic is first up, this coming week. Please
give it some thought and other ideas to help increase our visibility in the community.
Yours in Rotary,
Bob Sartwell

Tidbits NIGERIA DECLARED POLIO-FREE, REMOVED FROM ENDEMIC LIST The World Health Organization (WHO) announced on 25 September that Nigeria is now polio-free and has been officially removed from the list of countries where polio is endemic. It’s been 14 months since any cases of polio caused by the wild virus have been detected there. With Nigeria’s historic achievement, polio remains endemic in only two countries: Afghanistan and Pakistan. That means transmission of the virus has never been stopped there. Nigeria was the last country in Africa where polio was endemic. The continent celebrated its own first full year without the disease on 11 August. Once three years have passed without a case in WHO’s entire African region, officials will certify polio eradicated there. “Rotary congratulates Nigeria on its tremendous accomplishment in stopping polio,” says RI President K.R. Ravindran. “On behalf of the entire Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), we thank volunteers, health workers, and parents in communities across Nigeria for their tireless commitment to ensuring every last child is protected against this devastating disease. In the months ahead, their dedication will remain as important as ever, as we work to keep Nigeria polio-free and to eliminate polio from its final strongholds in Pakistan and Afghanistan.” Nigeria’s success is the result of several sustained efforts, including domestic and international financing, the commitment of thousands of health workers, and new strategies that reached children who had not previously been immunized because of a lack of security in the country’s northern states. TYPE 2 POLIOVIRUS GONE FOR GOOD In other encouraging news, an independent global health commission officially verified on 21 September that wild poliovirus type 2, one of three strains of the wild virus, has been eradicated worldwide. Although the last type 2 case was detected back in 1999, the confirmation is an important milestone, as Rotary and its partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative prepare to switch from a form of the vaccine that targets all polio types to one that does not protect against type 2. The announcement by the Global Commission for the Certification of Poliomyelitis Eradication confirms that only two strains of the wild poliovirus remain. Of those, type 3 wild poliovirus hasn’t been detected in almost three years, and wild poliovirus type 1 is endemic only in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

FUNDING INCREASE NEEDED TO REACH FINAL GOAL
On 25 September, the GPEI's Polio Oversight Board met to determine the next steps needed to eradicate
polio. The group concluded that $1.5 billion in new funding is needed to help Rotary and its partners end
polio in the next few years. With Nigeria now polio-free, spending will focus on the most vulnerable children
in Afghanistan and Pakistan, while continuing to shield millions of children already living in polio-free
countries.
“With a fully funded program and global commitment to ending this disease, we have the opportunity to
interrupt transmission of the wild poliovirus in Pakistan and Afghanistan in 2016, opening the door for
certification of a global eradication in 2019,” says Michael K. McGovern, chair of Rotary’s International
PolioPlus Committee. “With [Rotary members’] continued support, we will soon see our dream of a polio-
free world realized.”
