NOVEMBER
2024 MESSAGE
A solid Foundation
One of Rotary’s greatest strengths is the ability of our members to come together to create lasting change, and The Rotary Foundation helps us transform dreams of change into reality.
From eradicating polio to building peace, much of the work we do around the world would not be possible without our continued support of our Foundation.
The cause of peace is especially important to me, and one of the most effective ways we build peace is our Rotary Peace Fellowship – a product of The Rotary Foundation. The program helps current and aspiring peace and development professionals around the world learn how to prevent and how to end conflict.
Thanks to a $15.5 million gift from the Otto and Fran Walter Foundation, we can continue supporting peacebuilders in more regions with the next Rotary Peace Center, at Bahçeşehir University in Istanbul.
Opening yet another peace center is a monumental achievement that we will celebrate at the 2025 Rotary Presidential Peace Conference in Istanbul.
The three-day conference 20-22 February will highlight the many ways our family of Rotary advocates for peace. Keynote speakers, panel discussions, and breakout sessions will allow us to share ideas about building peace and foster meaningful conversations about promoting peace everywhere.
Registration for the Presidential Peace Conference is open. I hope to see you there, but if you can’t make it, our Foundation offers to many ways to change the world for the better. November is Rotary Foundation Month, a great time to get to know your Foundation better and pursue causes that appeal to you.
Global grants support large international activities with sustainable, measurable outcomes in Rotary’s areas of focus. By working together to respond to pressing community needs, clubs and districts strengthen their global partnerships.
District grants fund small-scale, short-term activities that address needs in your community and in communities abroad. Each district chooses which activities it will fund with these grants.
Our Foundation can even help you support our wonderful youth programs, including Rotary Youth Exchange, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, and Interact.
Your gifts to our Foundation also make Programs of Scale possible. These are long-term projects that seek to solve otherwise intractable problems.
To ensure these good works continue beyond our lifetimes, it is up to us to reach our ambitious Rotary Endowment goal of $2,025 billion by 30 June 2025.
The Magic of Rotary does not appear out of nowhere. We create the magic with every new member inducted, every project completed, and every dollar donated to our Foundation.
Please join me in supporting The Rotary Foundation, and together, we will change the world for the better.
STEPHANIE A. URCHICK PRESIDENT, ROTARY INTERNATIONAL
2024-25

NOVEMBER 2024 - MESSAGE
In our hearts and hands
There are as many reasons to join Rotary as there are members. Most join for experiences – new friendship, expanding professional circles, or putting Service Above Self into action to create impact.
Rotary delivers on all of these, often simultaneously. Through our Rotary Foundation, Rotary also has a knack for offering unexpected experiences and new opportunities that open doors and change lives.
I learned this firsthand at age 30 when I served as president of the Rotary Club of Decatur, Alabama. That year, my wife and I sought out the chance to try something new: attending the 1985 Rotary International Convention in Kansas City, Missouri. There, we witnessed the dawn of PolioPlus and met memers from different backgrounds, realizing we were part of a global family.
Later that year, I learned that a Rotary Group Study Exchange team from Nigeria was scheduled to visit Alabama, but Decatur was not on the agenda. After making a few calls, we soon welcomed the Nigerian team into our home. It was an incredible and unexpected experiences.
Before the group departed, the team leader recommended me to lead the six-member team from Alabama that would visit Nigeria the following year, which I did. There, I met people whose lives ha been impacted by polio, including several family members of our hosts. I learned that polio reaches its victims across borders, economies, and religions.
That Foundation program – Group Study Exchange – opened my eyes to what Rotary is and what it can do. Taking part in the exchange set me on a path for new friendship and opportunities to serve on multiple continents.
Just as The Rotary Foundation has enriched my Rotary life, it can do the same for you. This month, during Rotary Foundation Month, I invite you to explore new Foundation experiences.
Look for ways you and your club can support Foundation-led efforts like polio eradication, disaster response, or the Rotary Peace Centers. Get involved in global grant or district grant projects. And if you have never had the experience of giving to our Foundation, I invite you to join other Rotary members as a Foundation donor. Your support will mean the world to both Rotary members who want to help and to the individuals and communities who need it.
The Rotary Foundation is not a place or a building. It is an experience, one that lives in our hearts and hands as we do good in the world. The Rotary Foundation is all of us.
MARK DANIEL MALONEY
Foundation Trustee Chair, 2024-25
THE ANNUAL FUND
Dear Fellow Rotarians,

Disaster Response and Recovery: Your contributions help Rotary provide immediate relief and long-term recovery in regions affected by natural disasters, from delivering emergency supplies to rebuilding schools and homes.
Promoting Peace and Conflict Resolution: By funding peace fellowships and conflict resolution programs, you empower future leaders who work on global peacebuilding efforts and foster understanding across cultures and borders.

Why do we mark International Days?
International days and weeks are occasions to educate the public on issues of concern, to mobilize political will and resources to address global problems, and to celebrate and reinforce achievements of humanity. The existence of international days predates the establishment of the United Nations, but the UN has embraced them as a powerful advocacy tool. We also mark other UN observances.
Summary of new polioviruses this week, cases and positive environmental isolates:
• Afghanistan: one wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) case and 10 WPV1-positive environmental samples

• Chad: three circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 (cVDPV2) cases and two cVDPV2positive environmental samples
• Djibouti: one cVDPV2-positive environmental sample
• Niger: once cVDPV2 case and one cVDPV2-positive environmental sample
• Nigeria: five cVDPV2 cases

World Polio Day 2024 may be over for another year, but
The Long Goodbye
This report is the 23rd Report of the Independent Monitoring Board of the GPEI.
You can read the full report herehttps://polioeradication.org/wpcontent/uploads/2024/09/23rd-IMB-Report-20240922.pdf
For anyone interested in the polio eradication efforts, this report is one of a number that might be considered “must read.”
Some statistics shocking, perhaps can be discovered in this report:
There is mention of “orphan” viruses. Here is an explanation –
An orphan virus refers to a virus that has been detected in an environment or within individuals, but the source of its infection, particularly from a known outbreak or transmission chain, cannot be traced. In the context of polio, orphan viruses are typically strains of the vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) that show no direct link to other known cases of poliovirus infection in the region, suggesting either undetected transmission or long-term silent circulation of the virus.
Orphan polioviruses are particularly concerning because their presence indicates that the virus has been circulating in the environment for an extended period without being detected, which suggests gaps in immunization and surveillance efforts. These viruses can mutate from the weakened strains used in the oral polio vaccine (OPV) and evolve into a form capable of causing paralysis, especially in under-immunized populations (wfaa.com) (NBER)
The discovery of orphan viruses often indicates that the virus is silently spreading in communities with insufficient vaccination coverage. This highlights the critical need for comprehensive surveillance and immunization to prevent further outbreaks.
Polio was eliminated from most parts of the world as part of a decades-long effort by the World Health Organization (WHO) and partners to wipe out the disease. But polio is one of the world’s most infectious diseases and is still spreading in a small number of countries. The WHO and its partners want to eradicate polio in the next few years.
Until it is gone from the planet, the virus will continue to trigger outbreaks anywhere children are not fully vaccinated. The recent polio infection in an unvaccinated baby in Gaza is the first time the disease has been reported in the territory in more than 25 years

Club President for 2024-25 – Mariann Timmers
INSPIRATION
Although Rotary’s early focus was on fellowship and business networking, members soon incorporated the elements of service. In 1906, Donald M. Carter proposed an amendment to the club bylaws: “An organization that is wholly selfish cannot last long. If we, as a Rotary Club, expect to survive and grow, we must do some things to justify our existence. We must perform a civic service.”
A Century of Service, page 32
Even though Paul Harris wrote in 1911 that “Rotary is entirely without precedent in the history of clubdom,” he later learned that his idea was not entirely original. A social club based on a similar vocational classification system had been organized in London, England, 200 years before Rotary’s founding in 1905. It was also similar to the classification-based Junto, established in 18th century Philadelphia by U.S. scientist-philosopher Benjamin Franklin.
Century of Service, Page 31
“While the first five issues (of The National Rotarian) each showed a loss, the sixth issue showed a profit of US$63 and the last two issues showed a profit of $777… made possible (in part) by the very generous advertising support given by the members of the Philadelphia and Duluth Rotary Clubs … Our magazine, however, is still in a more or less experimental stage.”
…Annual report of Secretary Charley R. Perry, 1912 Century of Service Page 49

OUR CLUB PROJECTS
HELPING MIGRANT WORKERS
The Passport Club of District 6330 is happy to be continuing our successful service project, Backpacks for Migrant Workers. More information to follow.
North Lambton Community Health Care created the Migrant Worker Project to support the 700 migrant workers working in Sarnia and Lambton County Our club is working with the Project Coordinator, Andrea Jones-Peper, by providing backpacks for newly arriving workers.
We will continue through the 2024-25 year to fill the backpacks with items requested by workers, such as toiletries. Our club will request a district grant to increase our impact. Stay tuned!
A GREAT SUCCESS – CUP OF KINDNESS
We also are continuing our successful club project – a Cup of Kindness. The club chose to make a substantial impact on reducing food insecurity with a project aimed at raising funds for Food Banks in our individual communities.
Each member will “fill a Cup of Kindness" by filling a cup or two cups (or more) with coins, hopefully loonies and toonies, then donating the funds to their local food bank. Or you can choose to make donations directly to those in need. Donations should be rewarded with a tax receipt. The results will be tallied regularly. With the success of this project, we are planning to keep it going.
Rotarians, friends, and relatives are encouraged to help members fill the cups in support of this excellent project!

HAVE YOU HEARD OF PROJECT AMIGO?
Project Amigo objectives
1. To enable the disadvantaged and marginalized youth of Suchitlan and the surrounding area (Suchitlan) in the state of Colima, Mexico to achieve their highest potential by providing educational opportunities, material support, and enrichment activities.
2. To encourage elementary students in Suchitlan to remain in school by providing school-related incentives such as extracurricular activities and field trips.
3. To support qualified junior and senior high school students from Suchitlan to continue their education.
4. To organize and fund the costs of after-school space called the Suchitlan Education and Study Centre in the town of Suchitlan to ensure that sponsored students continue to succeed in their studies.
5. To continue to support qualified students from Suchitlan who wish to advance to post-secondary education.
Rotary Clubs Recognition
We appreciate all the Canadian Rotary Clubs for their generous and continuing support:
Project Amigo owes both its birth and its longevity to the contributions of Rotarians and Rotary clubs. Our mission to change lives through education, literacy and opportunity for international service provides a perfect match for Rotarians and Clubs to provide "service above self" significantly, generously, and effectively.
Individual Rotarians and Rotary clubs can:
• Sponsor primary school children to attend school
• Sponsor youth in Secondary and Post-Secondary schools
• Serve with us in Mexico on a Humanitarian Volunteer Week
• Invite Project Amigo representatives to make a presentation to your Rotary Club
• Develop Club or District grants to support Project Amigo’s Literacy Programs
• Contribute to various “special need” campaigns that arise each year
https://www.projectamigocanada.ca/
Project Amigo - founded by Rotarians – began in 1984 in the state of Colima, Mexico, with the goal of improving the lives of poor children in rural Mexican communities through education.
It was founded by Rotarians Ted and Susan Rose after Ted, who was a businessman, visited Colima and saw the need for better educational support. Inspired to make a difference, they initially provided clothing and medical assistance to local children.
As the project evolved, the focus shifted to education, which they recognized as the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. They started offering scholarships, tutoring, and additional resources to children, helping them stay in school and pursue higher education.
Over the years, Project Amigo has partnered with Rotary clubs around the world, receiving both funding and volunteer support. The initiative not only helps students with educational materials but also provides comprehensive support, including mentoring, tutoring, and even university scholarships, creating pathways for children to achieve higher education and break the cycle of poverty.
Project Amigo primarily operates in the state of Colima, Mexico. While it started as a Mexico-based project, the model of combining education support with Rotary volunteerism has inspired similar initiatives in other countries.
Although Project Amigo itself hasn't expanded under that same name globally, its success has encouraged other Rotary-led educational and community support programs around the world. However, the core operations of Project Amigo remain focused in Mexico, specifically on assisting underprivileged students in rural areas of Colima.

A LITTLE HUMOUR
KEEPING THE EMERGENCY ROOMS AT THE HOSPITAL BUSY
A man is at the funeral of an old friend. He tentatively approaches the deceased's wife and asks whether he can say a word. The widow nods. The man clears his throat and says, "Plethora." The widow smiles appreciatively. "Thank you," she says. "That means a lot."
Another man comes up and says: "Mind if I say a word too?" She says: "Please do." The man clears his throat and says: "Bargain." The widow replies: "Thanks, that means a great deal."
Another man comes up and asks for the same privilege. The widow thanks him, saying that would be very nice. The man clears his throat and says: "Earth." The widow replies, "Thank you, that means the world."
Another man comes up and asks if he could say a couple words. The widow thanks him, saying that would be very nice. The man clears his throat and says: "Being alive." The widow replies, "Thank you, he would have liked that."
Another man comes up and asks if he could say a word. The widow thanks him, saying that would be very nice. The man clears his throat and says: "Infinity" . The widow replies, "Thank you, that means more than you could possibly imagine."
Another man comes up and asks if he could say a word. The widow thanks him, saying that would be very nice. The man clears his throat and says: "Fhqwhgads". The widow replies: "Thanks, you don't know what that means."
Another man comes up and says: “Mind if I say a few words too?” She says: “Please do.” The man clears his throat and says: “The Mariana Trench.” The widow replies: “Thanks, that’s really deep.”
Another man comes up and says: "Mind if I say a few words too?" She says: "Please do." The man clears his throat and says: "water pit". The widow replies: "Thanks, I know you mean well."
Another man approaches the widow and says: “I’m truly sorry for your loss; he was a great and dear man.” The widow replies: “Doesn't sound like you knew him at all!”

Below is a video you may find very interesting – a TED talk. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design
TED began in 1984 as a conference where people from these three areas could come together and share ideas.
TED has since expanded to cover a wide range of topics, including science, business, education, and global issues, with the central goal of spreading ideas worth sharing.
TED Talks, which are short, powerful presentations, have become widely popular and accessible online.
