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
