The First Lady of the District sharing her thoughts....

With Hearty Festive Greetings.... It is a pleasure for me to share my views

with all of you. The New Rotary year started with the RI Theme “Rotary Opens
Opportunities” which was opened by RI President Holger Knaack, A leaders surely with very
sharp vision. I was privileged to have had the training as a partner of DGE at the International
assembly at San Diego, USA from 19th to 24th of January 2020. I learnt a different aspect of
Rotary meeting different people of different countries and different cultures at one place.

DGEs and their partners from India had wonderful interaction and fun. I also enjoyed the
colourful programme, Cultural & Grand march, Colourful dresses and the delicious Indian
Food.

Family is the basis of Rotary's success. It is our duty to stand behind our spouses motivating
them to courageously embark on Mega humanitarian projects and support them fully in
Rotary service & family fellowships with our ideas and involvement.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought home the fact that good health is our most precious
possession. If health is good all is good. In this period all the meetings are conducted on
Digital Platforms. At the positive side the virtual meetings help us sitting in our homes
connected socially. We have already adopted the new technology to the most, we met each other virtually and smiled together
when the world was undergoing a huge crisis and this was only possible due to Digital Platform. It is time to know each other and
strengthen our bond of friendship. Now the time has come to prove that we should not step back in these COVID times rather we
should enjoy the company of each other.

R.I. Presidents Message

During a recent Zoom meeting with Rotarians and Rotaractors, I
looked at the smiling faces on my screen and realized how much our
organization has changed in a short period. It is clear that there is no
going back to the "old normal" in Rotary — and I see that as an
exciting opportunity!

Innovation and change are happening at so many levels as we
rethink and remake Rotary. Rotary's new flexibility is blending with
digital culture to drive change in ways that many of us have never
seen before. We can learn a lot from Rotarians like Rebecca Fry —
who, at age 31, already has 15 years of Rotary experience.

I see Rotary as a phenomenal platform to change the world. I believe
I can have the greatest influence by empowering others to create
the change they wish to see in the world. I've gained leadership
insights through my experiences in RYLA and Rotaract, and now, as
charter president of the Rotary Social Impact Network, a new e-club.

Engaging Rotary program alumni is key in forming new clubs. Our club is proof that Rotaractors and other alumni want to join Rotary
— but sometimes they can't find the Rotary club that's right for them. Our club has 31 members, all between the ages of 23 and 41,
and almost all of them are alumni of Rotary programs.

We need to be able to integrate and align Rotary with the other personal and professional goals we're pursuing. In chartering this
club, we set out to design a personalized model of Rotary that is focused on added value for our members. We have also sought to
leverage connections — through Rotary Fellowships, Rotary Action Groups, and other international partnerships — in order to
elevate our members' experiences beyond the club.

Our club meets and manages most of its projects online, using Microsoft Teams to engage 24/7 in topics that interest our members.
This also means our club is not geographically bound to any one location: Although many of us are in Australia, we also have
members in Germany, Italy, Mexico, Tanzania, and the United States.

Also key for our club is measuring the impact of our projects. For Plastic Free July this year, we created an awareness campaign
promoting ways that individuals could reduce their use of plastics, and we reached more than 6,000 people. It's a project with a
tangible impact that anyone can take part in wherever they are. I'm proud that, through our club, we are bringing people together
for a new type of Rotary experience. I am excited for our future.

All Rotary clubs have the opportunity to be innovative clubs, just like Bec's club. Let's trust those clubs, learn from them, and lend
them our support. Change in Rotary happens at the grassroots level, as clubs lead the charge, defining what this new Rotary can be.

Change is constant, and we have more work to do in many areas. It
is important that we celebrate the contributions of people of all
backgrounds and promote people from underrepresented
groups so that they have greater opportunities to participate as
members and leaders in Rotary.

The tools to make Rotary more inclusive, more relevant, and more
fun for everyone are at our fingertips. Let's use them now, and we
will see how Rotary Opens Opportunities for ourselves and for
those yet to discover us.

- HOLGER KNAACK.

World Polio Day : History & Significance

World Polio Day is celebrated on 24 October annually to raise awareness about the 99% success is 100% failure
polio disease and efforts for eradication. If the world fails to eradicate Polio,
> 1 crore of the world’s children will be
Rotary International established the World Polio Day over a decade ago to
commemorate the birth of Jonas Salk, who led the first team to develop a vaccine paralyzed in next 40 years!
against poliomyelitis. The use of inactivated vaccine of poliovirus and subsequent
widespread use of the oral poliovirus which was developed by Albert Sabin led to the
establishment of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) in 1988. According to
WHO, by 2013, GPEI had reduced polio worldwide by 99%. Polio is a fatal infectious
disease. There is no cure, but due to safe and effective vaccines, it can be prevented.
That is through immunisation it can be prevented. For eradication of polio, the
strategy was to provide immunisation to almost every child until transmission stops
and to make world polio-free.

Polio is an infectious disease which can be spread from person to person and may
lead to paralysis, breathing problem or even death. For polio eradication, World
Polio Day is observed on 24 October every year.

Nigerian physician Dr. Tunji Funsho named one of
TIME’s Most Influential People in the world

FUNSHO HONORED FOR HIS WORK WITH ROTARY INTERNATIONAL TO ERADICATE WILD POLIO IN AFRICA

TIME named Nigerian physician Dr. Tunji Funsho to the 2020 TIME100, its annual list of the
100 most influential people in the world.

Dr. Funsho, a cardiologist based in Lagos, Nigeria, is the first Rotary member to receive this
honor for the organization's work to eradicate polio, having played an essential role in
ensuring Africa's certification as wild polio-free in August of 2020.

“I'm honored to be recognized by TIME for my part in ensuring that no child in Africa will
ever again be paralyzed by wild polio, a disease that once disabled 75,000 African children
every single year,” said Dr. Funsho. “Eradicating the wild poliovirus in Africa was a team
effort that required cooperation and dedication of governments, partners, Rotary
members, hundreds of thousands of health workers, and countless parents who chose to
have their children vaccinated against polio.”

As the leader of Rotary's Nigeria National PolioPlus Committee, Funsho has worked
alongside Rotary members throughout the country to raise awareness about the
importance of polio immunization, encouraged governments and public figures to support polio eradication, and served as a vocal
leader and advocate for Rotary's fight to end polio in Africa.

Dr. Funsho works closely with Rotary's partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI): the World Health Organization
(WHO), UNICEF, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and Gavi, the Vaccine
Alliance. As a member of Nigeria's Presidential Task Force on Polio, he has coordinated immunization and advocacy campaigns with
the Minister of State for Health and the Inter-Agency Coordination Committee for Polio Eradication. He has also worked closely with
the Sir Emeka Offor Foundation, the Dangote Foundation, the Traditional Leaders Council and the Federation of Muslim Women's
Association of Nigeria.

In August 2019, Nigeria reached three years without a case of wild poliovirus. Nigeria's progress, led by Rotary, its GPEI partners and
local and national governments, was the result of decades of sustained efforts, including domestic and international financing, the
commitment of hundreds of thousands of health workers, and innovative strategies to immunize children who previously couldn't
be reached due to insecurity in the country's northern states.

On 25 August, the African region was certified wild polio-free.

Rotary Role in Eradicating Polio

Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 40 years. Since 1979, we have vaccinated more than 2.5
billion children. But we haven't done it alone. Here is a timeline for our partnerships.

1979-80 : Rotary undertakes a series of polio immunization campaigns throughout Southeast Asia and Latin
America, beginning with one in 1979 in the Philippines and followed by similar activities in Cambodia,
Haiti, Morocco, Paraguay, and Sierra Leone.

1985 : Rotary introduces PolioPlus – the first effort to immunize every child in the world with polio vaccine –
and aims to raise $120 million. During its 1988 convention in Philadelphia, Rotary announces it has
raised $247 million, more than double the target amount.

1988 : Rotary pushes forward the global resolution to eradicate polio at the 1988 World Health Assembly in
Geneva. It also spearheads the launch of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative with the World Health
Organization, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and UNICEF.

2002-03 : Rotary launches the Polio Eradication Fundraising Campaign with a fundraising target of $80 million.
The campaign, netting $135 million, eclipses Rotary's goal. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
contributes $1 million when it honors Rotary with its Gates Award for Global Health, its first gift to
Rotary's efforts to end polio.

2007 : The Gates Foundation announces its first major grant to polio eradication – a $100 million challenge to
Rotary, promising to match funds raised by Rotarians.

2009 : Bill Gates pledges an additional $255 million at Rotary's International Assembly, and Rotary increases its
fundraising goal to $200 million.

2011 : Bill Gates speaks at the Rotary International Convention in New Orleans.

2012 : Rotary raises $228.7 million, surpassing the original goal of $200 million. In the same year, Jeff Raikes,
then-CEO of the Gates Foundation, announces an additional $50 million contribution to polio
eradication efforts at Rotary's International Assembly.

2013 : An announcement at the Rotary International Convention in Lisbon sets the stage for a new extension
of the partnership between Rotary and the Gates Foundation. The Gates Foundation agrees to match 2-
to-1 every dollar committed by Rotary, up to $35 million per year, through 2018. Throughout the
campaign, Rotary exceeds its annual fundraising goal.

2017 : On the heels of the success of the 2-to-1 matching grant, Rotary and the Gates Foundation announce an
increased combined pledge of up to $450 million at the Rotary International Convention in Atlanta.
Rotary's new goal is to contribute $50 million per year over three years. With a 2-to-1 match, the Gates
Foundation's contribution will increase to $300 million if Rotary reaches its fundraising target.

2020 : On 25th August 2020 47 Countries of the African Region certified WILD POLIO-FREE when Nigeria
became polio free. This milestone is an incredible achievement . We still have important Work to do to
eradicate Wild POLIO in the last two endemic countries.

Congratulations !!!

Jennifer Jones - First woman to be confirmed as Rotary president

EVANSTON, Ill. (October 1, 2020) — Jennifer Jones, member of the Rotary Club of
Windsor-Roseland, Ontario, Canada, will become Rotary International's president
for 2022-23, a groundbreaking selection that will make her the first woman to hold
that office in the service organization's 115-year existence.

Jones, whose confirmation comes at a unique time in history, is inspired by how the
organization and its global members continue to adapt, connect and serve their
communities in new ways during the coronavirus pandemic. Jones says she wants to
harness this moment of change to develop metric-driven goals that challenge us to
innovate, educate and communicate opportunities that reflect today's realities.

“We know that Rotary is a place where leaders and those with the vision and drive to
create change can thrive. And such leaders are found from every age, gender, race
and background. Diversity, equity and inclusion should begin at the top, and for us to
welcome new leaders into our organization and expand our ability to make an
impact, we need to build stronger bridges that help everyone see themselves
reflected, celebrated and valued here in Rotary,” Jones said.

Jones also notes her tremendous pride in the way Rotarians have shown leadership in responding to and helping protect communities
against COVID-19. So far, Rotary has provided US$29.7 million to support clubs in their response to COVID-19, with projects ranging from
large-scale, transformative activities such as providing medical equipment to hospitals to small-scale, short-term activities like purchasing
thermometers, protective medical gear, or other items for frontline medical professionals.

“Silver linings rise out of the most challenging circumstances,” Jones said in her vision statement. “Our members are resolute in finding
ways to aid those in need as the pandemic continues to underscore how Rotary is a global force for doing good in the world.”

As Jones looks ahead to her presidential term, she confirms that she's prepared to take on existing and new challenges as society
continues to evolve at a rapid pace, and like Rotary presidents before her, is eager to set Rotary on course for a robust and vibrant future.

“Years ago, I asked one of our incoming presidents what he wanted his legacy to be. He very quickly told me he wasn't interested in
building a legacy and that he was interested in getting to work,” said Jones. “Those words have always stuck with me, and I too simply want
to get down to work.”

Evolution of the Official Rotary Magazine

The Rotarian magazine

From its beginnings as a 12-page periodical, The Rotarian has grown into an award-winning publication with a
circulation of over 500,000, inspiring the creation of a host of Rotary regional magazines.

The first issue was published in January 1911 as The National Rotarian. It included news items
from existing clubs, announcements of new clubs, and an essay by Paul P. Harris. Rotary's
founder discussed the purpose of Rotary clubs and pondered what the response would be if he
asked every Rotarian, "What is the philosophy of Rotary as you understand it?"

Harris, along with Secretary Chesley R. Perry, launched the publication to share information with
a growing number of Rotarians. Perry was the magazine's first editor and held the position until Published in 1915

1928.

The official formation of clubs in Canada and England prompted the magazine to change its name to The Rotarian,
starting with the September 1912 issue.

Published in 1911 Early on, the magazine focused on business ethics, character development, and membership growth. Throughout
the years, well-known critics and authors, along with popular artists and photographers, contributed their work to

its covers and pages.

In the 1940s, the magazine published many commentaries about the effects of war by prominent writers and leaders such as Sherwood
Anderson, Winston Churchill, Thomas Mann, H.G. Wells, Mohandas K. Gandhi, George Bernard Shaw,
Pearl S. Buck, and J. Edgar Hoover. A selection of these articles was reprinted in three booklets from
1942 to 1947.

As Rotary clubs formed around the world, regional magazines appeared, each offering
Rotary news from a local perspective. The first regional magazine was published in Great
Britain and Ireland in 1915.

More than half of Rotarians worldwide receive a regional magazine instead of The
Rotarian. The Rotary World Magazine Press publishes more than 30 officially licensed Rotary
regional magazines. These publications are produced independently by Rotarians,
distributed in more than 130 countries, and published in more than 20 languages.

The official Magazine in India is published in 36 Languages as the “ THE ROTARY NEWS ”
