<div><strong><font size="4">DISTRICT 5130 PRESIDENT,</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="4">As we begin a new ROTARY YEAR of service, each of you
has spent valuable time with D.G. Barbara Spangler formulating your plans for
another successful year of service. </font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="4">I know that you are aware that we will again stage our
PEDAL 4 POLIO fundraiser, but this time starting in Fort Bragg and traveling
South & East. P.D.G. Bob Rogers will again chair this event & likely you
have already received an update on this from Bob.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="4"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font size="4">The eradication of polio (POLIO PLUS) remains the # 1
priority of Rotary, our Rotary Foundation, and 1.2 million Rotarians worldwide.
It is a highly infectious and potentially deadly virus which was paralyzing over
350,000 children each year and killing in excess of 35,000 children and young
adult in over 125 countries way back in 1988 (the first year of our
massive immunization campaigns). TODAY year to date in 2018 only 13 cases in 2
countries (Afghanistan (10) & Pakistan (3)).</font></strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong><font size="4">This will be the first of many emails you and your
Rotary Foundation/Polio Eradication Chairs will receive on a monthly basis.
Please share these with your members so they can better understand our long term
commitment to saving children’s lives. Today we are closer than we have ever
been in terms of the total eradication of the polio virus from our
planet.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="4"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font size="4">Again this year, the Gates Foundation will give a 2
for 1 dollar match which means that every $ 1 we raise for polio immunizations
will become $ 3 when the Gates contribution is added to our total. Our Rotarians
have always been very generous in terms of their contributions towards
eradicating polio I’m sure it will continue this year.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="4"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font size="4">I know you will continue to encourage your members to
participate financially so that soon we will fulfill a promise we made to
parents around the world in 1988 – there will be a morning that a parent
will never again fear their son or daughter waking up paralyzed will little of
no hope of being able to experience a normal life. I personally will always
remember that morning at the age of 6 waking up paralyzed and spending the next
12 months in 4 hospitals. Fortunately I had the care that enabled me to walk out
of that last hospital at the age of 7. Children in 3rd world countries will
never have that support.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="4"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font size="4">So where are we in terms of eradicating polio? Today
and in each email I will update you on our progress.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="4"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font size="4">AFGHANISTAN - one of only three countries in the
world with ongoing wild poliovirus transmission. Our Global Polio Eradication
Initiative (GPEI) is focusing on reaching every last child with vaccines,
financial resources and technical support at all levels. The number of cases in
2018 remains at 10 with the most recent case had onset of paralysis on June 22
in Kunar Province. This month we have scheduled national immunization activity
which is ongoing. Cooperation between Afghanistan and Pakistan in terms of
scheduling immunization campaigns remains positive. Also cross border teams work
together to ensure that chronically missed children are immunized despite the
deteriorating security situation throughout the country. Cross Border teams,
permanent transit teams and special nomadic teams are successfully reaching
children on the move.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="4"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font size="4">PAKISTAN – The number of cases in 2018 remains at 3.
The most recent case had onset of paralysis on May 18. There has been a 97%
reduction in cases since 2014. We are targeting 38.7 million children under the
age of 5 in our August campaign.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="4"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font size="4">NIGERIA – Zero cases in last 2+ years. Immunizations
continue in Nigeria with special emphasis on the Chad Lakes
Area.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="4"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font size="4">Yes a lot of information but I will attempt to keep
you updated on at least a monthly basis and at other times as
necessary.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="4"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font size="4">Again, thank you for your ongoing support. Together we
will eradicate polio.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="4"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font size="4">Yours in Rotary Service.</font></strong></div>
