Editor's Notes
- Presenter’s Notes The notes below and on each slide are intended for you, the presenter, to use as you deliver your presentation. These notes provide background information for the text on the slides as well as optional activities you can incorporate to make the presentation more interactive. Your audience may be your club, members of various clubs, or a single club that is not your own. Please adjust the language (our vs. your) to fit your audience. Activity Ask participants the following questions: What is your club like? Is it lively and fun? Is it diverse and open to new ideas? Are members actively involved? How can your club become more vibrant?

- Yambuku village in Zaire, Belgian missionary, A Belgian nun taken ill, a Belgian doctor sent her blood sample to a Antwerp Belgium in a commercial flight in a passenger baggage. In the lab it was received by Dr. Peter Piot a clinical microbiologist,
- who under electron microscope saw this spagetti shaped virions, he did not know what they were, they looked like marburg virus, so he sent the foto to other experts in the world. They confirmed that it was not marburg virus. That was the moment of discovery for Piot. The nun died and several villagers were affected by similar illness and were dying. Piot travelled to Yambuku and
- Investigated the epidemic through detailed history taking and maps to make connections. In three months time they carried out extensive isolation of cases and contacts. They thought of naming the virus after the Yambuku village but thought that it would stigmatise the village, so they name the virus after the nearest river, the Ebola River.
- 2 to 21 days after exposure 8-10 days is most common. Lack of significant immune response to the virus at the time of death
- Cases in Italy and USA were due to lab monkeys exported from Philippines
- Transmission between natural reservoirs and humans is rare, and outbreaks are often traceable to a single case where an individual has handled the carcass of a gorilla, chimpanzee, or duiker.[5] The virus then spreads person-to-person, especially within families, hospitals, and during some mortuary rituals where contact among individuals becomes more likely. Consumption of bat soup. Transmission through air has not yet been confirmed. There is evidence of a carrier state but this has not yet been established. (3) Those at highest risk include Healthcare workers Family and friends of patients with Ebola

- Each club should have a strategic plan with a vision statement that describes where it wants to be in three to five years, as well as long-range goals to support that vision. All club members should have an opportunity to provide input on the plan to maximize innovative and diverse ideas. Planning for the future keeps your club relevant to the community. It helps the club accomplish more significant projects over a longer period of time, with sustainable results. Activities Ask participants the following questions: What vision do you have for your club? What is special about your club? What does your club do well? Ask participants to think about what their vision for the club would be. Give participants copies of the Strategic Planning Guide to help members understand the idea of strategic planning and begin thinking about their clubs’ strategic plans.
- A strategic plan provides a “big picture” view of the club’s future. But for a club to achieve its long-range goals, it needs to break them down into smaller annual goals that can be achieved in each of the years covered by the plan. Rotary Club Central is a tool designed to help your club develop its annual goals. Setting goals ensures that your club is always striving to improve rather than simply accepting current practices. Activity Ask participants the following questions: What are your club’s annual goals? How were these goals set? Who is responsible for entering the goals in Rotary Club Central?
- Communicate club activities, news, and events on social media sites and club websites. Clubs can choose which methods to use, but they should keep the lines of communication open and establish a plan for sharing information. Club members’ needs should be known and expressed to club leaders and, at times, to district leaders. Likewise, district initiatives should be communicated to club leaders and members. Social media is growing in popularity and offers a great way to share information. Activities Ask participants the following questions: Why do you visit your club and district websites? What would you like to see on your club and district websites? Pair members who are familiar with social media (for example, Facebook and LinkedIn) with a member who is not. Have them discuss the benefits of social media and the types of information shared through online social networks, as well as how to create an account.
- Work together to compare your club’s current practices with each of the best practices listed in the guide. For areas that need improvement, think of new ideas and decide how to implement them. Implementation takes time, but it is worth the effort. Activity Ask participants the following questions: What other best practices should our club consider? What questions or comments do you have?
