<div><strong><font size="4"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font size="4">Sorry for the delay, I am behind because my computer
decided to retire. So it has taken me a couple of weeks of stress to be
able to re-create my Rotary records.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="4"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font size="4">Attached is the latest POLIO PLUS financial report a/o
Oct 8. It details a total of $ 27,183 raised since July 1.
</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="4">Our top fundraisers are: Healdsburg $ 6327, Petaluma

Cotati = $ 1925, Sebastopol = $1755, Sonoma Valley = $ 1350, Healdsburg Sunrise

<div><strong><font size="4"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font size="4">Likely our low numbers through the first quarter of
your year of service is due to the later start of our PEDAL 4 POLIO 2018 EVENT
which took place this past week riding from Ft. Bragg ending up in Lakeport – a
300 mile event supporting POLIO PLUS.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="4"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font size="4">A number of clubs have ask me what can they do which
is above and beyond their annual polio fundraisers to support not only the
riders but also WORLD POLIO DAY – OCT 24.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="4">Every club received an email from PDG Bob Rogers which
contained a pledge form. Encourage your members to meet Bob’s goal of surpassing
last years PEDAL 4 POLIO fundraising total of $ 61 per Rotarian. Also take
a small amount of your President’s time each week to educate and encourage your
members.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="4"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font size="4">Bob, myself & D.G. Barb strongly encourage each of
you to ask every member in your club to financially support this life
saving/life changing program. Today we are so close to the total eradication of
the polio virus from the face of our planet – and I know that soon we will all
celebrate the end of polio.</font></strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong><font size="4">So where are we today in terms of accomplishing our
goal of the total eradication of the polio virus and thus insuring that a parent
will never again fear their son or daughter waking up one morning
paralyzed?</font></strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong><font size="4">First I need to clarify a news article originating in
Minnesota last month detailing 6 young children being treated for a viral type
infection similar to polio including symptoms of muscle weakness in the arms
& legs, difficult swallowing, slurred speech & lethargy. Many of you may
not be aware that lab work is done on each suspected case of polio – WORLDWIDE –
to be able to accurately assess whether or not it is polio, the stain, and the
origin of the virus. We have been doing this since the start of our immunization
program.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="4">Lab tests came back on the 6 children in Minnesota
detailing a rare viral infection called AFM –ACUTE FLACCID MYLETIS. It is not
caused by the polio virus but is the result of a severe viral infection and is
potentially serious and occasionally fatal. Polio Immunizations do not stop this
particular virus.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="4"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font size="4">As of Oct 2, there have been 19 cases of type 1 polio
virus cases worldwide compared to 11 at this time last year. This minor increase
is not unexpected and it is important to note that 15 of these cases are in
Afghanistan, 4 in Pakistan. Last year to date –Afghanistan had only 6 cases,
Pakistan 5 cases. Nigeria remains at zero cases since Aug
2016.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="4">Immunizations continue on a scheduled basis in not
only those 3 endemic countries but also in the Lake Chad Basin (Niger &
bordering with Nigeria), DRC (Democratic Republic of the Congo), Horn of Africa,
Papua New Guinea, The Middle East. Funding for these immunizations continue
because of Rotary (Rotarians), The Gates Foundation (2 for 1 matching for each $
1 we raise ], our global partners around the world, corporations –profit and non
profit, numerous counties, United Nations and many others.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="4">Remember when we initiated our campaign in 1988, there
were 3 deadly strains of polio -today only 1 thanks to Rotarians around
the world.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="4"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font size="4">I also want to extend my personal thanks for your
support. I know that are many other important causes in the communities you
serve including many that need your ongoing financial and personal
support.</font></strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong><font size="4">This week also marks a terrible anniversary of the
horrific fires that destroyed property – personal and businesses that may never
be rebuilt in our 4 affected counties and countless lives – so the needs are
many.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="4"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font size="4">Thanks to each one of you, we will continue to meet
those needs & continue to serve others less fortunate.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="4"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font size="4">Yours in Rotary Service</font></strong></div>
