This Close - Rotary Club of Frederick County

 
WE ARE "THIS CLOSE"
 
 
 

THE WORLD’S LARGEST HEALTH INITIATIVE

DESERVES THE WORLD’S BIGGEST COMMERCIAL.

One starring thousands of people around the world. One that enables everyday folks from all walks of life — you, for example — to join with Nobel laureates, movie stars, famous musicians and other notable people to express a united commitment to End Polio Now.
A tad ambitious?
Perhaps. But so is the goal of wiping this terrible, crippling disease from the face of the earth.
After nearly 30 years, and after immunizing more than 2 billion children against polio, Rotary and its partners are on the brink of making history. We are This Close.
When Rotary began the fight in 1985, polio affected 350,000 people, mostly children, in 125 countries every year. Since then, polio has been reduced by more than 99 percent.
Fewer than 700 new cases were reported in 2011, and the wild poliovirus today is confined to isolated pockets in only three countries. We truly are This Close to ending polio forever.
But if we don’t finish the fight right now, polio could quickly resurge, with devastating consequences. More than 10 million children could be paralyzed in the next 40 years. This once-in-a-generation opportunity would be gone forever.
You can take action by showing your support. Be part of the World’s Biggest Commercial. Snap a photo of yourself making the This Close sign and upload it into the commercial. Show it to your friends and family and ask them to do the same. Your involvement will help convince world leaders that support for polio eradication is global.
And then — do more. Learn more. Get involved. Donate.
It’s time to make history together.
We are "THIS CLOSE".
From the End Polio Now website.  Go here to learn more, to donate or to upload your own photos for the This Close ad.  http://www.endpolio.org/

 Bring your gifts to the meeting on Tuesday.

 Here is the latest update from Ric Van Norton:

All kids are accounted for. Seven new bicycles have been ordered from Mike Perry at Blue Ridge Bicycle, Inc. based age and size. With our Rotary Club and AMVETs we have collected about $700 to date.

Thanks to Mary Daniel and the Berryville Police Department we have helmets, but still may need 2 more.

 The final tally is not in from Mike on the cost of the bikes ordered so we may need some additional help with the funds for these bikes. The other kids were all picked by club members. Please bring your gifts on Tuesday. Thank you for your support of this program.

 DG & THE DISTRICT CONFERENCE

The District Conference is March 15 to 17, 2013 at the Homestead.  Registration is now open.

The Early Bird discount rates are good until January 10.

Go here to register today: www.rotarydistrict7570conference2013.org

Here is a letter from our DG about our District Conference:

Dear Rotarian,

Join us as at the District 7570 Annual District Conference 2013, as we look through our Rotary window to see the global world of Rotary. I want to encourage you to plan now to attend our annual District Conference, scheduled for Friday, March 15 through Sunday, March 17 at the Homestead. Registration is now open!

Those of you who have attended the District Conference in previous years know it’s a wonderful way to deepen and expand your understanding of Rotary, and enjoy the company of your fellow Rotarians.

If you've never attended a District Conference, you’ll find it a rewarding and fun experience. You’ll network with Rotarians from other Clubs, learn more about what Rotary is doing in our District and around the world. There will be time for dining, music, games, beer and scotch tasting, shopping, and exploring the Homestead Resort. This year the Conference is designed with families in mind, please be sure you check out the family events.

The Early Bird discount rates are good until January 10. Be sure to make your plans and register now. A registration web site has been set up at www.rotarydistrict7570conference2013.org

You can also reach this site via the District web site, www.rotary7570.org, click on "Calendar”, then "District Events,” scroll down to "March” and, to the left of the "Homestead” box, select District Conference 2013 - Rotarian Registration.

Either way you get to the online registration site, you’ll be able to pick how much of the Conference you want to attend, whether your partner will join you, whether you will need a room at the Homestead, and the activities you want to sign up for. Note that, if you want to reserve a room at the Homestead, you click on "ACCOMODATIONS”, which is near the bottom of the form. Be sure to enter our Group Rate, RID7570, to get the special conference rate for Rotarians.

If you prefer a paper registration, your Club’s District Conference Chair or President can give you a form to complete and mail.

As a Rotarian, the Conference has always been a "high point” for me. The conference gives you a window into the global Rotary world. We have planned an exciting program, which will be fun as well as informative. Lori and I have put together a video which can be viewed from the District Home Page or the District Conference Website.

Lori and I are looking forward to seeing you at The Homestead.
