November is Rotary Foundation Month
-----------------------
• In addition to our global organizational plans,
Rotary
members are being mobilized on the
ground to help prevent the spread of Ebola
and other major
diseases.
The Rotary Club ofMonrovia,
for example is working directly
with the Ministry
of Health and Social Welfare in Liberia
to enhance local support for Ebola patients, health
workers,
and support personnel.
Rotarians are soliciting funds to buy locally available
items,
providing much needed
transportation, tracking potential Ebola cases,
and
supporting the reintegration of those
who have recovered from the virus.
Funding for the Monrovia
project will also
be used for local vehicle repair,
fuel, medicine, mattresses, buckets, and
other supplies.
The Monrovia club hasasked for donations of gowns,
gloves, face masks,
shoe
covers, plastic boots, and, sadly, body bags.
Please contact Yoquai Lavala with copy to David
Frankfort
for more information on where
to send items,
and read more about the club’s project in
Rotary Ideas.
Rotarians and friends of Rotary can also support
our broader
efforts to address public health concerns
by contributing to the Rotary Foundation’s
disease
prevention and treatment fund.
Contributions can be made securely online at
www.rotary.org/
give by selecting the
Annual Fund option.
They can be made in
a variety of currencies,
and are eligible for Paul Harris
Fellow recognition.
While these gifts may not contribute directly
to current Ebola relief efforts,
they
will be put to effective use to support Rotary’s
ongoing commitment to prevent disease and improve
access to
health care around the world.

Possibly
the best poster on the London Underground...
Wheel of Impressions
with Kevin Spacey
The rain was pouring
and there was a big
puddle in front of the pub.
A ragged old man was standing there with a
rod
and hanging a string into the puddle.
A tipsy- looking, curious gentleman came
over
to him and asked what he was doing.
'Fishing,' the old man said simply.
'Poor old fool,' the gentleman thought
and he invited the ragged old man to a
drink in the pub.
As he felt he should start some
conversation
while they were sipping their whisky,
the gentleman asked,
'And how many have you caught?'
'You're the eighth,' the old man answered..
Don’t under estimate the elderly!!
