A Message from President Dave
David Nelson

I am honored to serve as your president this year.  As all of you know we are members of the best club in Utah and I will do my best to keep that honor.  We are very much a service oriented club and I plan to keep that as our main focus.  We do have a new board and several new committee chairs in place and they will lead us into the new year.  I ask everyone to give them your support.  They have a tough job, but with your help they will all be successful.
 
I have two major goals for this year.  My first goal is to complete the merger of the Dixie Sunrise and Red Rock clubs into the Saint George Sunrise Club.  Our two clubs are a perfect match.  We have many issues to work through and none are impossible.  We will from a merger committee to work through all the issues and to keep the club informed on their progress. The second goal is to continue supporting the veterans club and help the club grow in membership and expand their influence in the community.  We will accomplish this with the excellent leadership of the club's president, Doug Walker and his team. 
 
So as you know I have asked all of you to just give the club at least two hours a month.  Some already do a lot more and if we can add more  hours IMAGINE how much more we can accomplish. 
 
IMAGINE ROTARY!

On December 15 we will deliver:
 
Warm Clothing for MIllcreek High School 
 
We will, as we have for many years now, be gathering warm clothing for the Millcreek High School Students.  This year the need is great for coats, socks, gloves, sweaters, sweatshirts. We ask that the items donated be new with the original tags still in place.  Donations will be delivered to the school will be December 15th prior to the winter break.
 
And,
Gift bags for the shut-in seniors.
As you shop this season for basic necessities, please include items for those who live alone and may have no other gifts.  Items from basic needs such as lotion to those things wanted but usually out of reach such as notecards and stamps are just the tip of the suggestion ice berg.  We have learned from the Senior Center that gloves, chapstick, dish towels, and fun puzzles of any kind are what is needed most.
 
These bags will be delivered the same day as the Millcreek items, December 15th! 
So please don't let the need for one prevent you from thinking of the other.  After all, we have much and many have little. 
 
 
 

 

As you are aware, our Club sponsored the Rotary Satellite Club of Southern Utah Veterans.

We are happy to see members of their club joining us from time to time and hope perhaps some of you would like to attend a meeting with them.  

They meet the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month at 6 pm at the Elks Lodge.

 

Thank You Veterans Club for your service!

 

Greetings Polio Warriors:

Greetings Polio Warriors:

WILD POLIO VIRUS, TYPE 1 (WPV1) - Good news once again...there has been NO NEW CASES of Wild Polio Virus Type 1 anywhere in the world for the last 10 weeks.

SIXTY-NINE - The number of days since the last case of WPV1 occurred in Pakistan (September 15th).
EIGHTY-FIVE - The number of days since the last case of WPV1 occurred in Afghanistan (August 29th).

ONE HUNDRED & FIVE - The number of days since the last case of WPV1 occurred in Mozambique (August 10th).
THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-NINE - (ONE YEAR +) - The number of days since the last case of WPV1 occurred in Malawi (November 19th, 2021).

THIRTY - The total number of cases of WPV1 that have occurred in 2022 year-to- date (2 in Afghanistan, 8 in Mozambique and 20 in Pakistan).
SIX - The total number of cases of WPV1 that occurred in 2021 (1 in Pakistan, 1 in Malawi and 4 in Afghanistan).

ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY - The total number of cases of WPV1 that occurred in 2020.
ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SIX - The total number of cases of WPV1 that occurred in 2019.

There were once again, however, 3 new Wild Positive Environmental Samples again collected in Afghanistan, in the Province of Nangarhar along the common border with Pakistan. This brings the total count of Positive Wild Environmental Samples, year to date, 47, 36 in Pakistan and 11 in Afghanistan.

CIRCULATING VACCINE-DERIVED POLIO - On our other battlefront in the war on polio, the circulating Vaccine-Derived Polio, there were 13 new cases compared to 27 cases reported last week (However, due to a clerical error, one case in Ethiopia occurred in 2020, and is just now being recorded...so the actual number is only 12 for this week). Chad and Nigeria each had 4 cases, DR Congo had 3, and 1 was

discovered in Ethiopia. All were Type 2 this week. This brings year to date case totals to 522, compared to 466 a year ago at this time. DR Congo remains our biggest problem, with 238 cases representing 46% of the total 522 worldwide. WHO reports that outbreak responses to both the cVDPV1 and cVDPV2 continue to be intensified in that country.

And finally, there were 6 Positive Vaccine Derived Environmental Samples Type 2 (ES) reported last week, 4 from Algeria and 2 were collected in Nigeria, That brings the total number of Positive Vaccine Derived Environmental Samples (ES) to 258 for the year.

 

 
*Note: our community has an endless number of absolutely critical needs and needs help from our citizens.  However, as a Rotary Club we cannot be all things to all people.  So only those service opportunities approved by the Board will be listed in this bulletin.  If you have project you wish our members to support, please submit your request to President Dave prior to the Board Meeting each month.   Thank you!
