Under our Member Service area, History Committee, we are looking to complete the beautification of one of the older cemeteries in our county that is the resting place for many deceased Dublin Rotarians, Northview Cemetery. Supporting children in the area of reading with the FERST Foundation and assisting adults towards receiving their GED are a few areas where we will focus effort this year that comes within our Vocational Service Area. Our International Service area, our club will continue in this area towards providing clean water, and other sustaining support for an area, Malawi in Africa. Under New Generation Area, we will continue supporting Rotaract Club and Interact Clubs. This will be our l4th year supporting Laurens Youth Leadership Program.

Rotarians
around the globe are planning events to raise polio eradication
awareness and funding for World Polio Day on October 24, 2011.
After
20 years of hard work, Rotary and its partners are on the brink of
eradicating this tenacious disease, but a strong push is needed now
to root it out once and for all. It is a window of opportunity of
historic proportions.
Your contributions help Rotary raise $200
million to match $355 million in challenge grants received from the
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The resulting $555 million
directly supports immunization campaigns in developing countries,
where polio continues to infect and paralyze children, robbing them
of their futures and compounding the hardships faced by their
families.
As long as polio threatens even one child anywhere in the
world, children everywhere remain at risk. The stakes are that high.
Global collaboration has ensured that eradication is within reach.
Our generation has a chance to realize a historic opportunity and
ensure that no one else ever has to fear this disease. That’s why
it’s vital we commit to finish the job.
The wild poliovirus (types 1
and 3) is endemic in only four countries: Afghanistan, India,
Nigeria, and Pakistan. Nigeria has maintained a 95 percent drop in
polio cases in the past 24 months. Even though the number of cases
in Pakistan has increased by 70 percent in 2011 compared to last
year, only one case of type 3 polio has been reported.

Claire Livingston spoke today about her passion—birds—
and her favorite annual event— the St. Patrick’s
Birdhouse Contest. For many years, Claire thought that a
birdhouse contest would be a fun addition to the annual
St. Patrick’s Festival here in Dublin. So in 2009, she
started the annual St. Patrick’s Birdhouse Contest. For
contest rules, entry form, and ideas for creating a
one-of-a-kind award-winning birdhouse, go to
