District News
Our district proudly joins The Rotary Foundation and fellow districts across the world to announce the new Polio Plus Society and invite all of our members to join.  This simple act of generosity by our fellow Rotarians around the world will bring the life saving polio immunization to countless children until the day that the world has been rid of the virus. We are truly This Close and we need your help to complete the job.
In recent years Rotary has created a set of membership categories aimed at helping our clubs grow and, at the same time, meet the needs of the individual Rotarians we wish to attract.
 
The Corporate Membership is one such category. This article will help explain what a corporate membership is and how it can be implemented by your club.
 
Do you have a club logo? Do you even need a club logo? Simply put, a logo is an image that your club can use on everything from newsletters to raffle tickets, to letterheads, to web pages and to any other communication where you wish to give your club a professional view of who you are.
 
Free club logos can be custom made online by logging in to rotary.org and going to the Brand Center. To read more about the Rotary logo see this message from RI President Jennifer Jones...
 
 
Polio Update

As of 21 November 2023

 
 
Not only is it great news that the cases of wild poliovirus are down to 11 year-to-date,  it is also important to note the cases of cVDPV have dropped from 803 in 2022 to 355 this year (to date). Type 2 polio, known as cVDPV, "circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus", is an unfortunate rare side effect of using the oral vaccine in which a vaccinated person can infect an unvaccinated person.
