The Future is in Our Hands

If we could shrink the earth’s population to a village of precisely 100

people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like this: There would be:

57 Asians 21 Europeans

14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south 8 Africans

52 would be female 48 would be male

70 would be non-white 30 would be white

89 Would be heterosexual 11 would be homosexual

6 people would possess 59% of the entire world’s wealth All 6 would be from the United States

80 would live in substandard housing

70 would be unable to read

50 would suffer from malnutrition

1 would be near death 1 would be near birth

1 (yes, only 1) would have college education

1 would own a computer

When one considers our world from such a compressed prospective, the need for acceptance, understanding, and education becomes glaringly apparent. This gives us all the more reason to be an active Rotarian who’s helping to make a positive difference. This gives us the motivation to grow Rotary to numbers never before seen. By being a Rotarian,

you can help make the world be a better place!

Polio Eradication Gets Huge Financial Support!

The 2013-18 Polio Eradication and Endgame Strategic Plan and about US$4 billion in funding commitments took center stage at the Global Vaccine Summit in Abu Dhabi 24-25 April. Developed by the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), the plan is

designed to interrupt transmission of the wild poliovirus by the end of 2014, strengthen routine immunization, lay the groundwork for securing a lasting polio-free world, and transfer the eradication initiative’s assets to other public health efforts. The GPEI estimates the new plan will cost about US$5.5 billion.

Governments, nongovernmental organizations, foundations, and other donors announced the commitments during the vaccine summit. They also called upon additional donors to commit the additional US$1.5 billion needed to ensure eradication.

“This plan isn’t just a polio eradication plan, it’s a global immunization

plan with the goal of ending polio while improving efforts to protect all children, including the most vulnerable, with life-saving vaccines,” said Gates. “Successful implementation of the plan requires a significant, but time-limited investment that will deliver a polio-free world and pay dividends for future generations.”

Rotary International, along with the World Health Organization, UNICEF, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, are global partners in the GPEI. One of Rotary’s chief responsibilities in the worldwide effort is advocacy. In addition to contributing more than US$1.2 billion to the GPEI, Rotary has helped secure over $9 billion from donor governments since the initiative began in 1988. It is estimated that polio eradication could save the world US$40-50 billion

by 2035.

On the Polio Front

Taliban Ends War on Polio Vaccination

The Taliban has ended its war on polio vaccination workers and admitted immunization is the only way to protect children from the disease. The announcement came just weeks after the Afghan government launched a new campaign to immunize more than eight million children between six months and five years of age.

In 2012-13 the Santee--Lakeside Rotary Club had several significant accomplishments, while also working through some adversity. Among our greatest accomplishments is the very successful 2012 Concert at the Lakes, an effort led by Emily Andrade that netted over $12K for the Club and our event partner, the Santee Lakes Foundation. We also completed the vital Maasai Water Project in partnership with several other clubs and districts, and led by Bill Stumbaugh. Bill also coordinated and inspected several projects in Ecuador, on behalf of the District and Rotary International. The Club continued its emphasis on youth through its Scholar's program, awarding three scholarships to deserving students; delivering dictionaries to all third graders in Santee and Lakeside; and offering six scholarships to the Rotary RYLA Leadership Camp. Several Members participated in these activities, including Emily Andrade, Sandy Pugliese and Bill Pommering. Finally, the Club contributed $500 to the Noah Homes project, an East County shelter for mentally challenged adults. Our monthly Club newsletter, a beacon of news and stories, was again masterfully created by Sandy Pugliese--who also creates the District's Newsletter--fabulous job Sandy! The Club co-hosted a special "District Governor's Elect" Reception in which DGE's from all over the world met with several clubs from East County in a cultural and geographical exchange emblematic of Rotary.

On the financial front, the Club took several meaningful steps toward maintaining the solvency of the Club Foundation far into the future, an effort led by Doug Wilson. Bill Pommering, our Treasurer, has balanced the Club's financial accounts and updated the billings--no small task. The Club also raised $1,500 for Polio Plus through passing the "Happy

Bucket", and generated about $500 in excess for the Club's treasury. Bill's work on dues and fines collections has helped the Club's general fund remain in the black. And, the Club's Paul Harris Fellowship Drive will add at least three new Paul Harris Fellows to the Club. Overall giving to the RI Foundation is up!

Administratively, the Club took the very important step of combining the Foundation and Club boards into one--thereby reducing the burden of supporting two boards and streamlining the work. This effort, led by Sandy Pugliese was complimented by routine monthly Board meetings to conduct the Club's business. We also held a beneficial "Strategic Planning" Retreat, in which more than half the

Club participated, resulting in an update of the Strategic Plan and goal setting. Two members, Jim Peasley and Augie Caires completed the Leadership Development Academy. Additionally, we held a Club Fireside and our traditional holiday party. We also faced several formidable challenges this past year, which

MUST be addressed in the upcoming year by our members if our Club is to remain viable: First--we must bring in new members; Second, we must complete a Community Assessment of needs; third, we must increase our giving in the Every Rotarian Every Year Program; Fourth, we must build the "Concert" event to new heights to adequately fund our youth programs; and Fifth, we must work together to achieve the goals we established in our Strategic Plan. Together we can make

this happen.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, THROUGH IT ALL--WE HAD FUN!
