55












The fight against Polio

The figures being received continue to look good
although vigilance is the key word.
From a global point of view, the data provided at June 15th
indicated that there have been 349 cases reported year to date
against a figure of 552 for the same period last year.
The interesting part of the data provided is that the success
we are having in the four endemic countries
is far more optimistic (58 versus 405 last year)
while the cases in non-endemic countries has grown (291 versus 147 last year).
A few comments by country are:
Afghanistan. No new cases reported in the last week
and only 10 cases YTD June 15th
India. No new cases reported in the last week and 21 cases YTD June 15th.
Last case reported 29th April.
Nigeria. No new cases reported in the last week
and only three cases YTD June 15th.
Pakistan. Two new cases reported in the past week
and 24 cases YTD June 15th.
This is an increase over the same period last year.
Consideration is being given to bringing NIDs forward.
Clubs in our region are strong supporters of the Polio Challenge
and are playing their part in Rotary achieving
its goal of reaching $200 million.
The numbers below indicate the strength of that support,
and the determination clubs in our region have towards this challenge.

Aussie inducted into the Arch Klumph Society
The Rotary Foundation recently celebrated the induction
of several new members into the Arch C. Klumph Society,
which honours people who give at least US$250,000 to the Foundation.

Brett Mitchell joined Rotary in 1993
and was a member of the Rotary Club of Brisbane High-Rise, Queensland, Australia.
He served as club secretary and board member.
He worked as a corporate regulator for the Australian Securities
and Investments Commission and was also a chartered accountant,
certified information systems auditor, and certified practicing risk manager.
He was a member of the finance committee for the Legacy Club of Brisbane
and of the management committee for the Queensland Community Foundation.
Through his bequest, Brett and life partner, Tuan,
supported the Permanent Fund and the Annual Programs

--
Who is Arch Klumph?

Arch C. Klumph,1916-17 president of RotaryInternational
and founder ofThe Rotary Foundation In 1917,
Arch C. Klumph, Rotary's sixth president,
proposed to the Rotary International Convention in Atlanta, Georgia, USA,
the creation of an "endowment fund for Rotary . .
. for the purpose of doing good in the world in charitable, educational,
and other avenues of community service."
A few months later, the endowment received its first contribution
of $26.50 from the Rotary Club of Kansas City, Missouri, USA.
In 1928, when the endowment fund had grown to more than US$5,000,
the fund was renamed The Rotary Foundation,
and it became a distinct entity within Rotary International.
Five Trustees, including Klumph, were appointed to "hold, invest, manage,
and administer all of its property. . . as a single trust,
for the furtherance of the purposes of RI."
Two years later, the Foundation made its first grant of US$500
to the International Society for Crippled Children.
That same year, the first Foundation program was established —
Fellowships for Advanced Study,
which was the forerunner of the Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarships program.
Then in 1965-66, three new programs were launched —
Group Study Exchange, Awards for Technical Training,
and Grants for Activities in Keeping with the Objective of The Rotary Foundation,
which was later called Matching Grants

Rotary Clubs of West Perth and Osborne Park
Joint Meeting

Working with Aboriginal Communities
We were very fortunate to listen to Madeline Anderson
who spoke about her experience with RYLA
and how she is now able to help her extended aboriginal family achieve their goals.
Madeline gave a very moving presentation which
had us all listening intently and learning from her.
Madeline comes from a family where she has 4 brothers
and an extended family of about 50 people.
She was brought-up by her family elders
and with some mentoring by an Irish/Australian couple.
She also explained to us about the role of elders in families.
Madeline was sponsored to go to Boarding School at Perth College
in upper high school by the couple.
This was the first time she was away from her family
and she found this very challenging,
but it has now helped her to be more confident.
RYLA also provided her with the opportunity
to develop and use leadership skills.
Madeline has a strong connection to family
and is now helping her own extended family to set their goals,
communicate in a positive way and be respected by everyone.
It is now her own goal to start the process with other aboriginal families
and to have the support of the elders in each family group.
The elders have a very important role in aboriginal communities/families
and they want to improve the life of their families.
This was a very important meeting for myself
and I believe everybody who attended was also moved
by Madeline and her experience.
I am sure everyone wishes Madeline well in meeting
her new goals for aboriginal families.
Thank you to the Rotary Club of Osborne Park
for inviting our Club to this wonderful meeting.

‘Enemies in the West
A knight and his men return to their castle after a long hard day of fighting.
"How are we faring?" asks the king.
"Sire," replies the knight,
"I have been robbing and pillaging on your behalf all day,
burning the towns of your enemies in the west."
"What?!" shrieks the king.
"I don't have any enemies to the west!"
"Oh, no..." says the knight. "Well, you do now."

  3. Precautions: Please don't intercourse with your spouse. At times it can be hard to tell if you have a yeast infection, because some men may be infected without experiencing any symptoms at all. It also reduces the chances of your baby acquiring the infection.
