POLIO PLUS UPDATE: Rotary
International announced that its
partnership for polio
eradication with the Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation has
increased its contribution to
US$555 million. The announcement
was made at the International
Assembly in San Diego,
California, USA, on 21 January.
The Rotary Foundation received a
$255 million Gates Foundation
grant in January, for which
Rotary will raise $100 million
in matching funds. In November
2007, RI received a $100 million
Gates Foundation grant, which
Rotary committed to match by
raising $100 million. The two
challenge grants now total $355
million. Rotary has committed to
raising a combined total of $200
million in matching funds by 30
June 2012. This matching effort
is called "Rotary's US$200
Million Challenge."
2/6/09: Several months ago some
of the Club members expressed
interest in doing something for
Chris Mason-Hale, the young man
who suffered severe neck
injuries in a practice football
game at Western School of
Environmental Science and
Technology. On February 6, there
is going to be a benefit dance
for him at the school. Dominic
Foxworth, who graduated from
Western, went on the University
of Maryland, was drafted and
played for the NFL Denver
Broncos and now plays for the
Atlanta Falcons, stopped by the
school recently and donated
$1,000 to the benefit. WSEST
Principal, Rick Jester has
spoken to the RCCS morning
meeting on two occasions as did
the former WSEST Principal, Ken
Burch. Contributions to the
event can be made by contacting
the school.
2/15/09: With temperatures below
freezing and snow flurries a
daily possibility, what springs
to mind more readily than golf?
Did you know that the largest
special interest group within
Rotary on a worldwide basis is
…you guessed it, golf! The US
Golfing Federation of Rotary has
its own website (www.USGFR.com)
which explains what the USGFR
offers to its members, spouses
and guests. It also includes a
membership application. Dues are
currently only $20 per year, and
there are local and national
tournaments. The 2009 Tournament
venue will be at Champions Gate,
Kissimmee Florida from September
3-6, 2009. If you are
interested, the District 7620
rep for the USGFR is Patrick
Clarke of Alexiandria VA, and he
can be reached at lwsanclk@verizon.net

organization. It has provided
more than 200 scholarships to
