Great meeting this coming Tuesday 8 am on the Peace Corp and Rotary International. 

 
In 1996, the great African leader Nelson Mandela launched the Kick Polio Out of Africa campaign with Rotary International’s support, setting out a vision for a polio-free Africa. At the time, wild polio paralysed 75,000 children each year. To protect communities from this crippling disease, African leaders, health workers, volunteers, parents, global donors and organizations united to reach every child with polio vaccines.  
 
On 25 August 2020, after four years without a single case of wild polio, the African region has been certified free of wild poliovirus. Decades of extraordinary investment has paid off. 
 
Yet, the job is not finished. These efforts must continue to prevent wild polio from returning and to end all forms of polio for good – both in Africa and globally.
 
 

Our POPS committee sent out the first notices of our Holiday POPS Reimagined 2020 event.  And our first publicity has been published in the Reporter and on our web site.  We will discuss our strategy for connecting our members with possible sponsors at our club assembly the following week. 

 
Our Board awarded Honorary membership to Rosaleen Doherty and Bill Bartin.   They both have served our club in many ways and we are pleased to honor them in this way.

 
Our service committee will most probably focus on two types of projects.  One may connect us with the Council on Aging.  When they were with us a few needs were mentioned.  The second project may focus on work with schools.  This may be with our charter school, with the METCO program that we heard from last week, or with other children in our public schools as Teri McDonough spoke about in July. Please connect with our service committee members to join in these important efforts. 

 
Our membership committee has been working to focus our membership efforts on connecting members who have had difficulty being with us on zoom, on clarifying our membership categories, and on connecting with possible members.
