Internet of Things! Report by President Chris Skorina • Photo by PP Bill Kersten

At the August 15, 2018, meeting of the Rotary Club of Mission Viejo, James Seidel, (CEO of GreenBox Energy), discussed the "Internet of Things." Mr. Seidel’s talk explored how everything (microwaves, refrigerators, HVAC systems, security systems, etc.) is becoming connected to the Internet. This presents worlds of opportunity and, unfortunately, risk.

Mr. Seidel pointed out the volumes of data that can be used to improve the way companies do business.

School Backpacks for Linda Vista Elementary School in the SVUSD!

Report by President Chris Skorina • Photos provided by PP Bill Kersten

I want to acknowledge the great efforts of Honorar y Member Carol and PP Bill Ke rs t e n , S t e v e Ma rs h a n d G e n e v a Presbyterian Church members, PP Paul Bucknum, PP Dennis O'Connor, and many others for making the backpack packing event possible. We filled 50 backpacks, (see photos below), during the August 8, 2018, hands-on meeting of the Rotary Club of Mission Viejo.

Later that morning we delivered the backpacks to Linda Vista Elementary School. I

had the opportunity to speak with the Principal , Suzy McMasters . Suzy was EXTREMELY appreciative and wanted me to pass along her thanks to the entire club. She reported that over 80% of their student population is on a free or reduced lunch program and Linda Vista has been a Title 1 school for years.

Congratulations MV Rotary for another

project well done!

- Chris Skorina

ROTARY AND POLIOPoliomyelitis (polio) is a paralyzing and potentially fatal disease that still threatens children in

some parts of the world. The poliovirus invades the nervous system and can cause total paralysis in a matter of hours. It can strike at any age but mainly affects children under five. Polio is incurable, but completely vaccine-preventable.

In 1985, Rotary launched its PolioPlus program, the first initiative to tackle global polio eradication through the mass vaccination of children. Rotary has contributed more than $1.7 billion and countless volunteer hours to immunize more than 2.5 billion children in 122 countries. In addition, Rotary’s advocacy efforts have played a role in decisions by donor governments to contribute more than $7.2 billion to the effort.

The Global Polio Eradication Initiative, formed in 1988, is a public-private partnership that includes Rotary, the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, UNICEF, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and governments of the world. Rotary’s focus is advocacy, fundraising, volunteer recruitment and awareness- building.

Today, there are only three countries that have never stopped transmission of the wild poliovirus: Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan. Just 37 polio cases were confirmed worldwide in 2016, which is a reduction of more than 99.9 percent since the 1980s, when the world saw about 1,000 cases per day.

The polio cases represented by the remaining one percent are the most difficult to prevent, due to factors including geographical isolation, poor public infrastructure, armed conflict and cultural barriers. Until polio is eradicated, all countries remain at risk of outbreaks.

Rotary will raise $50 million per year over the next three years, with every dollar to be matched with two additional dollars from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. These funds help to provide much-needed operational support, medical personnel, laboratory equipment, and educational materials for health workers and parents. Governments, corporations and private individuals all play a crucial role in funding.

More than one million Rotary members have donated their time and personal resources to end polio. Every year, hundreds of Rotary members work side-by-side with health workers to vaccinate children in polio-affected countries. Rotary Members work with UNICEF and other partners to prepare and distribute mass communication tools to reach people in areas isolated by conflict, geography, or poverty. Rotary members also recruit fellow volunteers, assist with transporting the vaccine, and provide other logistical support.

Rotary has a growing roster of public figures and celebrities participating in its “This Close” public awareness campaign, including Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; actresses Kristen Bell and Archie Panjabi; WWE superstar John Cena; supermodel Isabeli Fontana; Nobel Peace Prize laureate Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu; action movie star Jackie Chan; boxing great Manny Pacquiao; pop star Psy; golf legend Jack Nicklaus; conservationist Jane Goodall; premier violinist Itzhak Perlman; Grammy Award winners A.R. Rahman; Angelique Kidjo and Ziggy Marley; and peace advocate Queen Noor of Jordan. These ambassadors help educate the public about polio through public service announcements, social media and public appearances.

More to come in future publications...
