*DISTRICT 5130 PRESIDENT,*

*I’m a little slow this month sending out my January update for polio
eradication. I have been quite busy since New Years. I have made 2
separate trips to Humboldt County speaking at 6 clubs – Eureka, Old Town,
Ferndale, Garberville, Fortuna & Fortuna Sunrise. I really enjoyed the
visits & want to thank P.D.G. Erin Dunn for making all the arrangements.
Yes, Rotary is alive and well in the North of our district & I really
appreciate the support you have given our POLIO PLUS campaign. And yes, it
is getting little more difficult for me due to increasing neuropathy caused
by both post polio syndrome and my cancer. Early February will find me
again visiting Sonoma County – specifically Valley of the Moon, East Santa
Rosa, Healdsburg Sunrise & Healdsburg – between physician appointments. *

*Attached is the latest polio eradication fundraising update for 5130 a/o
Jan 26. Total polio contributions since July 1, 2016 total $ 119,498.38.
Twenty Seven clubs have contributed over $ 1000. We still have a few clubs
with Zero contributions but I need to point out that clubs such as
Healdsburg have a  YEARLY major fundraiser for polio on St. Patrick’s Day,
Valley of Moon also has their annual fundraiser for polio scheduled,
Fortuna Sunrise completed one of their many fundraisers for polio this last
month. I am waiting to hear from Clearlake, Ferndale, Lakeport. Our goal
this year and every year is 100% participation in ending polio. I know we
will again meet this goal.*

*Our leading clubs are: Sebastopol = $ 27,305, Rancho Cotati = $ 10,804,
Sebastopol Sunrise = $ 7567, Santa Rosa Sunrise = $ 7144, Crescent City = $
6109, Calistoga = $ 5690, Petaluma Valley = $ 4075, Arcata Sunrise = $
4000, Del Notre Sunrise = $ 3455, Mad River = $ 3300, Healdsburg Sunrise =
$ 2970, Kelseyville Sunrise = $ 2906, Gualala = $ 2900, South Ukiah = $
2800, Rohnert Park-Cotati = $ 2774, Windsor = $ 2593, Fort Bragg = $ 2545,
Cloverdale = $ 1940, Southwest Eureka = $ 1670, Santa Rosa = $ 1536,
Fortuna = $1505,  Napa Sunrise = $ 1486, Sonoma Valley = $ 1430, Eureka = $
1340, Garberville = $ 1287, Ukiah = $ 1220, Petaluma Sunrise = $ 1141. *
*There were substantial contributions this month from Arcata Sunrise,
Gualala & Sebastopol.*

*Remember that our $ 119,498.38 becomes $ 358,495 thanks to the Gates 2 for
1 contribution. This is the only Rotary Foundation Program that benefits
directly from the Gates 2 for 1 matching.*

*So where are we today in terms of reaching our goal of the total
elimination of the polio virus? As you already know, 37 cases of paralytic
polio last year in 3 endemic countries compared to over 350,000 cases in
1988. The August 2016 outbreak in Borno North Eastern Nigeria remains at 4
cases. And yes we continue to immunize children in the area controlled by
the terrorist group Boko Haram along with immunizations in 9 adjacent
countries.*
*Afghanistan had 13 cases in 2016 & we now know of 1 case in early 2017.
Today the polio virus if confined to small areas in the southern, eastern &
south-eastern parts of the county. We know this to be factual because of
environmental sampling & genetic sequencing of those samples. Bermal
District had more than 50% of the cases in 2016.*
*Pakistan had the remaining 20 cases & we now know of 1 case in early 2017.*

*Rotary and our Global Partners continue to target those areas with
increased emphasis on eliminating the cross border transmission of the
virus from Pakistan into Afghanistan through the common entry points from
southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP)/ Federally Administered Tribal Areas
(FATA) in Pakistan to south-eastern Afghanistan in Paktika, Paktya and
Khost provinces. Nangarhar is another common cross entry point. *

*Today we are at a point that every new case of paralysis just might be the
last case ever on this planet. We are that close to total eradication of
the polio virus.*

*You are a couple of days away from completing your 7th month as CLUB
PRESIDENT or Rotary Foundation/Polio Eradication Chair for your club. *
*Take a look at your club goals for 2016/17 & especially your polio
fundraising goals. Every dollar raised for ending polio has the potential
for saving a child’s life and the Gates contributions makes that 3 lives
for every $ 1 we raise.*

*WHAT A TREMENDOUS RETURN ON INVESTMENT.*

*Thank you so much for your continued support. We do improve and change
lives in the local communities we serve but we also accomplish it on a much
larger world wide scale through our POLIO PLUS program.*

*Larry*
