World Polio Day, October 24th, is less than two weeks away and I thought this was the perfect time for our District to intentionally make an effort to end this disease once and for all. That's why I've taken advantage of our new relationship with Eventgroove to design this fundraiser that makes it so easy for each of us to make a donation as well as invite others through social media and other means to join with us.
Please note that there is a link in the section about how to donate for Rotarians to connect directly with My Rotary and get credit for your donation toward Paul Harris Recognition if you would like. Here is the link to our fundraiser:
Make sure you scroll down to bullet to to have your donation credited to our club. You will give via My Rotary
2, If you are a Rotarian and would like your donation to count towards Paul Harris
recognition, please make your contributionHEREand select "Polio Fund".
We will periodically check for updates and add these donations to our running total
on this site.
You'll notice that I have set a goal of $10,000. How did I arrive at that number? Well, if each Rotarian in our District gave $10, that would get us to $10,000 plus! Then with the 2-1 match from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, our District would contribute $30,000 to eradicate polio!!
This campaign continues until December 31, 2021, which I hope will allow us to extend our reach even further as we deliver on our promise to the world's children.
Thank you for all the ways you Serve to Change Lives!
The Dartmouth folks that Rudy has been in contact with will speak about ideas for humanitarian relief in the town of Sucrerie Henri in Haiti. Their talk will start at 12:30 PM following a little club business starting at noon.
Background Informaton: Last week, Rudy Fedrizzi talked about plans by a physician, Peter Wright; and architect, Jack Wilson to do projects in Haiti. They both have a long history of working in Haiti. There plan is to come up with projects that will be done as long term projects. Rudy shared that there may be opportunities to work with the local Rotary Club in Haiti that is near the town they want to help. The town in Haiti was 8 miles from the epicenter of the earthquake, and was totally destroyed. Jack Wilson has designed a house that could be erected for $300, and designed to withstand earthquakes. Wright and Wilson have reached out the local Rotary Club that has hopes of finding funds to develop a vocational center. Rudy hopes to have Wright and Wilson speak at an upcoming Rotary meeting. Rudy shared that there may be opportunities for Rotarians to accompany them on trips to help with projects.

Next Board Meeting
Our Next Rotary Club of Lebanon Board meeting will be November 9, 2021 at 5:30 PM on Zoom.
Marilyn Bedell provided an overview the Rotary Foundation
Her presentation covered the following: The Rotary Foundations mission and areas of focus; she described ways our donations have been used in District 7850; and provided information about two other important Rotary Foundation initiatives, Polio and the Rotary Peace Centers.
She started by reminding us of Rotary International's vision statement: Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves. Marilyn shared that personally, Rotary has transformed her life, and provided many opportunities to learn more about the world and to develop friendships across the glove that won't have been possible without her membership in Rotary.
The mission of the Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty.
Our Rotary district receives 50% of the money we donate to the Foundation to determine how Rotarians in District 7850 want to use the money for both District and Global Grants. The money we give this year will comeback to our District in 3 years. During those 3 years, the interest from the money is used to support all the administrative cost for the Foundation, and then the goal is to make sure that all the money raised this year will be used in 3 years to do good in the world.
The money can be used in any of the 7 Areas of Focus:
The Rotary Foundation is one of Charities Navigator's top rated charities.
Marilyn reviewed all the grants global (2019 to 2021) and district that have been approved for 2021/2022. If you would like a copy of the grants let her know and she will send them to you.
Why is it important for all of us to give to the Rotary Foundation?
The Annual Fund makes it possible for Rotary clubs to transform lives worldwide. Your generous support funds local and international projects that advance The Rotary Foundation’s mission. All contributions to the international fund are spent on quality international Rotary projects.
You all will be receiving a letter from our Rotary Foundation Committee (Ron Bedell, Karen Clements and Phil Rentz) to remind you that November is Rotary Foundation month. Please consider making your personal, voluntary contribution in November, but more importantly by 30 June 2022.
Marilyn then briefly covered the End Polio Now campaign, and out Rotary Peace Centers.
Polio, we have made huge strides in eradicating polio, but our work isn't done.
As of 21 September 2021
Summary of new WPV and cVDPV viruses this week (AFP cases and environmental samples):
Since January 1, 2021, there have only been two young boys diagnosed with paralytic Wild Polio Virus. One in Afghanistan and one in Pakistan.

Peace Centers
To make peace in the world, we need more peace-builders. The Rotary Peace Centers program, a dynamic and ambitious project of The Rotary Foundation, identifies highly qualified professionals and trains them to become agents of peace.
Peace Center Locations
•Masters Programs: Rotary's Peace Fellowship is a highly competitive educational program that awards 100 fully-funded masters degrees or professional certificates through one of six institutions designated as Rotary Peace Centers. These world-class programs are located in Australia, England, Japan, Sweden, Thailand, Uganda (new) and United States.
•The Rotary Foundation received in 2021 a > US 10-million-dollar gift to establish a peace center in the Middle East from the Otto and Fran Walter Foundation.
Chelsea Keyser attended the Peace Center in Bradford England in 2012/2013. She was sponsored by the Rotary Club of South Burlington, VT. She wrote the following to Marilyn:
Dearest Rotarians, your investment in the Rotary Peace Fellowship is not in vain. Peace fellows are contributing daily to global peace in the most diversified way. Members from my Rotary Peace Fellow class, 2012-2013 at the University of Bradford, are working for the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights investigating gender violence in North Korea and Kosovo; supporting Disbarment Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR) efforts in the Central African Republic; supporting post-conflict civil society in Liberia; the list carries on. Rotary’s investment in the Peace Centers and the Peace Fellow program is truly contributing to the prevention, resolution and stability of peace throughout the world.

Marilyn Concluded her talk with this slide showing a septic system installed with a grants received after Tropical Storm Irene, and a septic system in Ghana supported. Reminding us that funds from the Foundation can be used locally and internationally.
Moorings
It was a lovely day to be gathering for a meeting in person. Cindy Jerome assured we all had proof of vaccination, were afebrile and that we were feeling well today. Tim happily collected money for meal expenses, and Marilyn Bedell set up AV equipment for her presentation.
JoAnn Lemieux, Cal Wolfe and Ahmad Haidari talked about international projects. Other tables seemed to be abuzz in conversations too.
A great meal was prepared for us by the APD kitchen staff.
Our meeting was called to order at 12:03 PM with the ringing of the Rotary Bell.
Hank welcomed his son in-law Jason to our meeting. Jason was one of our Beer Fest volunteers.
We started the meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance, our Rotary Song, a patriotic song and the 4-Way Test.
Tim Guaraldi went on the hunt looking for happy dollars. He started this off by talking about his trip to Arizona, and Anna getting lost in the woods/dessert. She was easily found, but it got too late to get the elk he shot dressed that evening, and it was spoiled by morning. Good to know he sacrificed the elk in favor of finding Anna.
There were other happy dollars, but they weren't captured in my notes...oops.
Marilyn Bedell then gave a talk on the Rotary Foundation. Read story above.
Then it was on to club business.
Club Business and Announcements
Hybrid Meeting Proposal
Prior to this meeting, information was sent to the entire membership about a request to support the installation of equipment in the Dwinell Room that will permit us to hold hybrid meetings. Our donation would help DH-APD and APD Lifecare to get this equipment installed in the near future. The proposal was reviewed by both the Trustees of Lebanon Rotary Charities, Inc, and the Club’s Board of Directors. Since each entity would be contributing to the purchase of this equipment and the requests were >$1,000, it was presented to the membership to see if the membership is willing to support this request.
The proposal was broken into two motions. Bill Secord made the motion to for the Rotary Club of Lebanon to pay $2,500 for the installation of the equipment to permit us to hold hybrid meetings in the Dwinell Room. The motion was seconded by Ernst Oidtmann.
Discussion:
Will Koppenheffer stated he was not in favor of this proposal, and suggested that the entire donation should be made by Lebanon Charities, Inc. He was concerned that our dues are already high and making expenditures like this could potentially adversely affect our dues.
Hank shared that there was already $500 in the budget for 2021/2022 as a starting point for funding hybrid equipment.
Bill Secord shared that he thought that we are in changing times, and if we want to make Rotary available to new members, we will have to be creative and provide options for members to attend meetings either in person or via Zoom. He shared some information about Osher’s plan to install similar equipment to permit many in the community to attend classes.
Ron Bedell shared that during his year as president, the board realized that we have built up a surplus in our club’s administration budget. The Board discussed this surplus and decided to delay discussions about the use of the funds until we were able to determine if we would be able to return to in person meetings. It was assumed by the board at the time that we would need to investigate hybrid technology and it was unclear how expensive they would be to provide a good member experience.
Bruce Pacht then shared that the Club’s administration budget should have some funds in reserve, and this probably should be a topic for a Board of Directors meeting to determine how much should be held in reserve. Many organizations hold either 6 months or 12 months in reserve.
Our $35/month dues, currently are covering all or most of our operating expenses each month.
Steve Whitman called for a vote on the motion.
The motion was passed with only one member opposed to this expenditure.
A second motion was then proposed by Bruce Pacht for the Club to approve the expenditure of $2,500 from Lebanon Charities, Inc. for the second part of our donation for hybrid meeting equipment for DH-APD and APD Lifecare’s Dwinell Room. The motion was seconded by Ron Michaud.
Discussion
Bruce Pacht shared that the Charities Trustees support this request as the hybrid equipment would be used by DH-APD, APD Lifecare, the Rotary Club of Lebanon, and would be available to other non-profits who use the Dwinell Room. It fits within our charitable mission.
No other questions or comments were made.
Hank Clarke called for a vote on the motion. The motion passed unanimously in the affirmative to support the donation for the purchase of hybrid meeting equipment for DH-APD and APD Lifecare’s Dwinell Room using Charities Funds.
Financial Review Committee Needed
Annually we need three members of the club who are not a member of the BOD or a Trustee of the Charities Board to review our financial statements/systems. Marion Steiner, Phil Rentz and Willy Koppenheffer volunteered to do this task.
Upper Valley Flu Clinics — Enfield and Bradford
Ernst reported that both the clinics in Enfield and Bradford were successful. In Enfield over 500 flu shots were administered.
Volunteers at Enfield were Ernst Oidtmann, Dan Affeldt, Marilyn Bedell, Ron Bedell and Cindy Jerome.
Volunteers in Bradford were Ernst Oidtmann, Dan Affeldt, Bill Secord and Hank Clark.

Mascoma River Clean-Up
Ernst Oidtmann again shared the following update:
There were 30 participants with 4 Rotaractors from the Hanover Club. Almost the entire Conservation Commission took part. The food may have been the main enticement although the beautiful weather may also have played a role. We collected 0.6 ton of trash, 0.12 ton of metal and 5 tires.
Speaker Book for Cal Wolfe's Classification Talk Last Week
Since Cal was curious what type of book Bill Secord would select for him as our speaker, Bill brought the book, Nothing Will Stop Sophie. Bill thought it was befitting of Cal...because nothing will stop Cal too.
From the goodreads web page:
When her parents took away her candles to keep their young daughter from studying math...nothing stopped Sophie. When a professor discovered that the homework sent to him under a male pen name came from a woman...nothing stopped Sophie. And when she tackled a math problem that male scholars said would be impossible to solve...still, nothing stopped Sophie.
For six years Sophie Germain used her love of math and her undeniable determination to test equations that would predict patterns of vibrations. She eventually became the first woman to win a grand prize from France's prestigious Academy of Sciences for her formula, which laid the groundwork for much of modern architecture (and can be seen in the book's illustrations).
Award-winning author Cheryl Bardoe's inspiring and poetic text is brought to life by acclaimed artist Barbara McClintock's intricate pen-and-ink, watercolor, and collage illustrations in this true story about a woman who let nothing stop her.

Upcoming Service Projects and Fund Raisers
Styrofoam Collection Day set for 10/22/30.
We will be partnering with Sustainable Lebanon and the Upper Valley Lake Sunapee Regional Planning Commission.
Bruce Bergeron will send a Doodle next week to see if there are a few Rotarians interested in helping on 10/30 at the collection site.
Rotary to promote event via our social media once the official announcement is available from Cindy Heath.
Rotary is not spending any money on this event, just volunteer labor needed.
Good news is that hopefully....Styrofoam isn't heavy to lift.
Collected Styrofoam will go to a special disposal outfit in MA, so it doesn’t harm the environment.
Listen Holiday Basket Helpers
Update from Angela Nelson (this was sent in a separate email too):
Hello everyone!
Crazy enough it is almost the holidays! Where HAS this year gone! Listen has started their holiday basket program again. Unfortunately due to the COVID variants, they are doing cash donations in order to purchase gift cards to clothing stores and grocery stores again. Not nearly as much fun as shopping for adorable clothes for everyone, but still fulfills the needs and purpose.
For new members who don't know about this program. Listen creates holiday baskets for applicants. Community members/organizations sponsor these families and usually receive wish lists of 5-6 clothing items with sizes and likes for each child (or senior) and then each family is given a $50 gift certificate to a grocery store. The community members/organizations then would normally shop for these clothing items. It usually costs about $100 per child. Last year and now this year the shopping part has been eliminated due to COVID, but the need is just as high, if not higher.
The club itself budgets $450 for this program, but usually we sponsor 6-7 families. Rotary members, as they wish, donation funds (or had chosen items to shop for) to the charities account and then one big check is written to Listen from the club. If or how much someone gives is completely up to the member and I am the only one who knows!!!! Since the funds are going to the charities account, any contribution made is considered a charitable donation for tax purposes. If you would like to donate there are a few ways. You can mail a check to PO Box 132, Lebanon, NH 03766 (just put a note in or email me saying it is for Listen) or you can bring a check or cash to a face to face meeting (I should be at the next couple face to face meetings, but if I am not you can give it to Tim (or whoever may be filling in for him) and I will get it). If either of these don't work, you can email me and we can work something else out.
If you have any questions please let me know. Thank you for your help with keeping kids and seniors warm and fed for the holidays!

A roundup of Rotary news
Rotary pledges $97 million at Global Citizen Live
RI President-elect Jennifer Jones announced Rotary’s $97 million pledge for sustainable projects during Global Citizen Live, a star-studded 24-hour broadcast with events and performances across six continents. The event 25 September aimed to unite people to take action to defend the planet, end the COVID-19 pandemic, defeat poverty, provide education for all children, and promote equity and justice for all. In Paris, where Jones pledged Rotary’s support, thousands of people gathered at the iconic Champ de Mars near the Eiffel Tower to see performances from Elton John, Ed Sheeran, Black Eyed Peas, and more.

During last week’s United Nations General Assembly meeting, the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), represented by Rotary International, proudly co-sponsored an event promoting gender equality across global health efforts.
Building on the GPEI’s commitments made at the Generation Equality Forum earlier this year, this event called for governments and global health organizations to continue working to lower genderrelated barriers across all sectors of the health world. The GPEI would like to thank His Excellency Mr Franz Fayot (Minister of Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Affairs, Luxembourg) for recognizing the programme’s commitments to ending polio and empowering women.
Women have long been at the forefront of the global effort to reach all children with polio vaccines, and the GPEI’s new strategy, “Delivering on a Promise”, strives to acknowledge their impact and support their crucial work.
On 24 October 2021, the GPEI is pleased to be celebrating World Polio Day by recognizing that promise and the future that it holds. Please join us in reflecting on the progress made since the GPEI’s inception in 1988 – billions of polio vaccines delivered to children worldwide and countless cases of paralysis averted – while staying cognizant of the work that lays ahead to achieve a polio-free world.
ROTARY’S POLIO CHALLENGE
Since 2013, the Gates Foundation has matched every $1 Rotary commits to polio eradication 2-to-1. In January 2020, the Gates Foundation announced that they will continue to match 2:1 every new dollar Rotary commits to polio eradication up to $50 million per year through 2023!
Rotary has contributed more than $2 billion to fight polio, including matching funds from the Gates Foundation, and countless volunteer hours since launching its polio eradication program, PolioPlus, in 1985.
Thank you for supporting Rotary and leveraging your generosity!
You can help end polio by making a gift to the PolioPlus Fund at endpolio.org.
Eradicating polio amid a pandemic and political upheaval
Carol Pandak
Oct. 7, 2021
Carol Pandak has been Rotary’s PolioPlus director for 21 years. During that time, she has traveled to more than 35 countries, but her most memorable moment — one she'll never forget — took place in India, when she immunized a baby against polio for the first time.
Against the backdrop of an ongoing global pandemic and political upheaval in Afghanistan, we continue to make significant progress in polio eradication, demonstrating the resilience and determination of all those who are working to achieve a polio-free world for children everywhere.
Although this year may feel a little different, given current events, on World Polio Day, 24 October, we reflect on the progress we’ve made and the challenges we’ve faced not only over the past year but throughout the history of the PolioPlus program.
Celebrating progress
As of 29 September 2021, only two cases of polio caused by wild poliovirus have been reported — one in Afghanistan and one in Pakistan. There has also been a significant reduction in wild poliovirus detected in the environment. Also in decline are cases of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV), which occur when the live, weakened virus used in the oral polio vaccine circulates in underimmunized communities and reverts in strength in a way that can cause paralysis. (The Global Polio Eradication Initiative [GPEI], of which Rotary is a founding partner, introduced a new vaccine to lower the risk of cVDPVs.)
There is no doubt that the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic was a period of extreme uncertainty for global polio eradication efforts and for immunization efforts overall. Within a few months, though, the PolioPlus program adapted and learned new ways of working to ensure that polio immunization activities could safely continue. At the same time, those who work in polio eradication used their expertise and the GPEI used its infrastructure to support the response to COVID-19.
Overcoming challenges
The situation in Afghanistan presents more uncertainty but also possible opportunities. As a nonpolitical entity, the GPEI has a long history of working with various stakeholders in the country, including government officials and nongovernmental organizations. World Health Organization and UNICEF staff have largely remained in the country. Polio vaccinations continue through permanent transit teams posted in high-traffic areas of most regions, at border crossing sites, and at a Rotary-sponsored transit point in Kunar Province.
Rotary’s Afghanistan PolioPlus chair is part of discussions with local authorities to resume immunization campaigns as soon as possible to protect the progress made to date and safeguard children from the poliovirus.
Despite the political changes, there has been no major impact on surveillance to detect the poliovirus. Case investigation, stool sample collection, and environmental testing continue, and sewage and stool specimens are being shipped to a lab in Pakistan.
We are also monitoring the potential impact of the situation in Afghanistan on Pakistan, the only other country where polio remains endemic, such as an influx of refugees. The PolioPlus program in Pakistan is building on progress it has made by improving campaign quality and increasing community outreach to immunize children who continually miss polio vaccinations in the highest-risk areas: Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Baluchistan.
An optimistic future
On this World Polio Day, we celebrate the progress we’ve made since Rotary launched its PolioPlus program in 1985, and we marvel at the opportunity to eradicate a human disease for only the second time in history. While being realistic about the challenges, the GPEI has a record of operating successfully during complex health and humanitarian emergencies in countries and regions such as Angola, Northern Nigeria, Somalia, and Syria.
Let’s be inspired by the unwavering commitment of our organization, our GPEI and government partners, and heroic frontline workers as we continue our work to improve health for children wherever they live.
These numbers show the progress we’ve made against polio over the years:
- Nearly 3 billion children have been vaccinated against polio.
- 19.4 million people who otherwise would have been paralyzed by polio can walk today.
- 1.5 million childhood deaths have been prevented by the GPEI’s delivery of vitamin A — a nutrient that is essential for healthy growth and development — to children during polio immunization campaigns.
- Cases of polio caused by wild poliovirus have been reduced by more than 99.9%.
- The number of countries that report cases of polio caused by the wild virus has been reduced from 125 to two.
- Rotary has invested more than US$2.2 billion in global polio eradication efforts.
- Rotary has also helped secure an additional $10 billion in donations for global polio eradication efforts from governments.
- 122 countries have received support from PolioPlus grants.
- If polio eradication efforts stopped now, within 10 years, 200,000 children could be paralyzed every year.
