The opportunity each Rotarian has to represent the dignity and
utility of one’s vocation to the other members of the club

the business community and your
business/profession within the Club

code of ethics for his business in 1932

friendships ?

your business or profession
 Rotarians have the dual responsibility of representing their
vocation within our Club and exemplifying the ideals of Rotary
within the workplace

associations

especially people without jobs

38. What is Polio?
The disease was poliomyelitis, a paralyzing illness that struck without warning. For
more than fifty years, from the last large epidemic in 1916 to the introduction of the
Salk vaccine in 1955 and the Sabin vaccine in 1961, polio affected rich and poor,
educated and ignorant.
 1979 – Last known case of Polio in U.S. – NOT so for the rest of the world.
 1985 – Rotary undertook the task of world-wide eradication of polio; the most
ambitious program in Rotary history.
 $800m – Rotary’s contribution to date.
 2006 – Known polio survivors estimated to be 426,000 with 224,000 older than
65 years of age.
In 2007, the Rotary Foundation received a $100m challenge grant from the Bill and
MelindaGates Foundation; a dollar for dollar match for 3 years.
* The challenge was for each club to raise at least $1,000 for each of the 3 years.
* The Fayetteville Rotary Club raised over $35,500.
In January, 2009, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation gave two grants totaling
$355m and raised Rotary’s challenge to $200m by June 30, 2112.
