Apologies by Saturday pm please

My thanks to PP Genevieve for again stepping up to put together our club bulletin while

I was away.

Guest Speaker tonight was Tracy Hawker from SMYL Community Services.

Last Monday the 13th our club enjoyed a Vocational visit to the Darious Wells Library

and Resource Centre followed by dinner at the Admiral, all reports were that all who

attended had a great time. Our next Restaurant Meeting is scheduled for February 9th

2015 and is in the organisational hands of PDG John.

We have a number of members and their families heading off to Albany on the 29th to

attend the Anzac celebrations, we wish everyone a safe and enjoyable trip.

Kwinana Festival coming up next Saturday 25th our club will have our food van in

attendance together with our annual Chocolate Wheel fund raiser, club members who are

rostered on know who they are and are thanked sincerely for their continuing support.

I notice with interest the amount of money( US$ 580million) Canada as a country has

committed to Polio Eradication. I wonder where Australia fits into this equation?

World Polio Day 24th

October 2014

Rotary marks World Polio Day with US$44.7 million in grants to fight polio in Africa, Asia and the Middle East

EVANSTON, Ill. (Oct. 21, 2014) — 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.

Imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over

no balance from day to day.

Every evening the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day.

What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course?

Each of us has such a bank. Its name is TIME.

Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds.

Every night it writes off as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to a good purpose.

It carries over no balance. It allows no over draft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each

night it burns the remains of the day.

If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no drawing against "tomorrow."

You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health,

happiness and success!

The clock is running!! Make the most of today.

To realise the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade.

To realise the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.

To realise the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realise the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.

To realise the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who just missed a train.

To realise the value of ONE SECOND, ask someone who just avoided an accident.

To realise the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a silver medal at the

Olympics.

Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone

special, special enough to spend your time with. And remember time waits for no one.

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it’s called the present.
