Welcome to our Website  

The Rotary International theme for this year is “REACH WITHIN TO EMBRACE HUMANITY”.
We are excited about the upcoming 2011-2012 Rotary year. Our Five (5) Directors, Committee Chairs, Co-Chairs and Committee members are working hard towards a productive year of “Service Above Self.”

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.

Our Rotary District 6920 Governor is Gordon Matthews from Savannah East Rotary Club. Our Rotary District 6920 Assistant Governor is Frank Seaton, past President of our own Dublin Club.
Thank you for visiting our website and invite you to our meetings on Fridays at the Dublin Country Club with our meal beginning at l2:00 Noon and our meeting beginning at l2:30 P. M.

polio
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.
