Editor's Notes
- This is a milestone year for Rotary It is quite probable that during this year the world will see the last cases of poliomyelitis. As of 30 June 2016 there have only been 17 cases of polio reported this year. For a couple of years now, we have been saying that we are “this close” to eradicating polio. We ARE really close. I hope that each one of you will be able to say that you and your Rotary club contributed to this historic milestone of eliminating the scourge polio from the world, only the second disease after smallpox to be removed. A major reason for the eradication of polio is the funding obtained through our Foundation, the Rotary Foundation. And as you all know by now, our Foundation is about to celebrate its centenary. This is a special year!
- The following is a quick overview of what we are celebrating and why we are celebrating. I’ve met many very good, committed Rotarians who don’t understand what the Foundation is all about. I find that to be very sad. But equally, I know many Foundation enthusiasts, Rotarians who are great advocates for our Foundation and generous contributors to the Foundation. People who get it. In my experience, for many people the great dawning of understanding of the Foundation occurs during a Rotarian’s year as a club president.. The Rotary Foundation is a primary source of funding for Rotary’s humanitarian activities, from local service projects to global initiatives. It also leads Rotary’s ongoing effort to eradicate polio worldwide. Some people refer to our Foundation as our “bank”. We deposit money in the Foundation and withdraw it when required. Our Foundation is able to achieve its mission through the generous contributions and active participation of Rotarians and friends of Rotary.
- Within a month of the 1917 Convention, the Rotary Club of Kansas City, Missouri, USA, made the first contribution, $26.50, to the endowment fund that Arch Klumph had suggested. But it was a long road from one line in a convention speech, and a $26.50 donation to the multimillion dollar Foundation we have today. Arch Klumpf, the Father of our Foundation, was determined to realize his dream but he faced the challenges of two world wars, the Great depression and, guess what, even resistance from some of his fellow Rotarians. But the Foundation did evolve and now has $1billion in assets and over the years has spent $3 billion.
- The second reason that now is a good time to reflect on the work of our Foundation is Rotary’s Number One Priority – the eradication of the scourge of poliomyelitis.It is quite probable that next year or the following year, the world will see the last cases of poliomyelitis. In 1985 there were a 1000 new cases a day worldwide. This year there have only been 26 cases of polio. This compares with 74 cases in 2015 and 356 in 2014. For a couple of years now, we have been saying that we are “this close” to eradicating polio, but in reality, we are now “this close”.
- As committed Rotarians, each one of us should feel proud of our Foundation. I hope that you and your club will think creatively and look at ways you can join in the centenary celebrations. I’ll finish with this photograph of some young girls outside a school in a village in Cambodia funded by the Foundation. Their gratitude is obvious. Thank you.
