 | ||
| World Immunization Week is Coming | ||
As scientists work to find a vaccine for the new coronavirus, we can do our part to keep our communities healthy by helping Rotary spread the word about the importance of vaccinations during World Immunization Week, 24-30 April. Immunizations save millions of lives every year and are widely recognized as one of our most successful and cost-effective health interventions. Yet outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases continue to put children’s health at risk around the world. Rotary knows firsthand that #VaccinesWork. Since 1985, we’ve contributed more than $2.1 billion and countless volunteer hours to protect nearly 3 billion children from polio. When children receive the polio vaccine, their pinkie fingers are marked with purple ink so health workers will know which children received the vaccine. Today, only two countries continue to report cases of polio caused by the wild poliovirus: Afghanistan and Pakistan. Take action in three easy ways:

A special thanks to District Membership chairs Nigel Bayliss (7810) and Gail Gosse (7820) for helping to create a collaborative online event for club leadership on April 18th. Current District Governor for District 5370 Tracey Vavrek was the guest speaker along with Zone Coordinator Doug Logan. The conversation was about exploring creative ways to engage Rotarians.
The video was recorded and can be found through the District's YouTube channel:

When people have access to clean water and sanitation, waterborne diseases decrease, children stay healthier and attend school more regularly, and mothers can spend less time carrying water and more time helping their families. The Rotary Foundation transforms your gifts into opportunities by funding grants that support water, sanitation, and hygiene programs. You can make a difference both close to home and around the world with a gift to The Rotary Foundation in celebration of World Water Day. | ||

On behalf of our family, Karen and I would like to extend to each of you, the Rotarians of District 7810, and your families the warmest wishes for the holidays.
Joyeuses Fêtes et Saisons Salutations District 7810
Au nom de notre famille, Karen et moi voudrions adresser à chacun d'entre vous, les Rotariens du District 7810, et à vos familles, les meilleurs vœux de vacances.

One of Rotary International's 6 areas of focus is Disease Prevention and Treatment and is the theme for December. In 1979, Rotary became the first service organization to create a campaign to immunize six million children in the Philippines in a multi year project. This start has led to where we are today, almost eradicating it from the world. Rotary is partnered with the Gates Foundation who matches the monies raised and together achieve over 500 million annually.
Today we are down to 107 cases in two countries and the push is on to vaccinate the remainder. It has been the major focus of Rotary to take the impossible and find the solution. It is through the drive of a million Rotarians to raise money and to help with the volunteering to immunize children throughout the world.
Did you know that October 24th is End Polio Day? District 7810 had a number of clubs doing specific fundraising and awareness activities in Northern Maine and New Brunswick.
Did you know that the Gates Foundation matches Polio donations year-round? Many clubs are involved in End Polio activities throughout the year.
Did you know that the Rotary Foundation raised 331.9 million dollars last year so that they could fund the projects that we do around the world to impact lives in a positive way?
November is all about the Rotary Foundation and the #DoGoodery that is done because of it.
October is Economic and Community Development Month
Did you know that nearly 1.4 billion employed people live on less than $1.25 a day. Our Rotary members promote economic and community development and reduce poverty in underserved communities through training, well-paying jobs, and access to financial management institutions. Projects range from providing people with equipment to vocational training. Our members work to strengthen local entrepreneurs and community leaders, particularly women, in impoverished communities.
Track our success stories on social media throughout the month of October on Facebook (@district7810), Instagram (7810district), LinkedIn (Rotary District 7810), and Twitter (@RDistrict7810).
