October 24th is World Polio Day!
 
As World Polio Day approaches, we need your help to amplify our message about eradicating polio to protect the world’s children from a devastating disease.

We have made tremendous progress since the Global Polio Eradication Initiative was launched:
  1. A 99.9% reduction in cases of illness caused by wild poliovirus
  2. 3 billion children immunized
  3. 125 countries where polio was endemic reduced to two — Afghanistan and Pakistan — with the virus contained in just a few districts and provinces
But even just one case still represents one child’s life forever changed by polio. That’s why Rotary members must remain tenacious and keep our promise: We won’t stop until we know that no child will ever again experience the paralyzing effects of polio.

Let’s use World Polio Day to advocate for the support we need to make history by eradicating polio. Together, we end polio!
 
 
HOVOOTM returned to the Palos Verdes Peninsula Rotary Club on Saturday, August 26th!
 
“What the heck is HOVOOTM!”  HOVOOTM! is the concept of our club going out into the community and doing hands-on volunteer projects every month. It is the acronym for “Hands on Volunteer Opportunity of the Month.” See, isn’t it easier (and more fun) to say or write HOVOOTM! every time we want to talk about our Hands on Volunteer Opportunity of the Month projects?
 
On Saturday club members participated in our first HOVOOTM, aiding the PVP Land Conservancy at the Outdoor Volunteer Day at Alta Vicente Reserve.  Volunteers walked the hillsides removing invasive plant species to help preserve the native sage scrub habitat that is critical to local wildlife. Thank you so much to David Rowe and Rick Humphrey for bringing HOVOOTM back! And for club members for participating.

Rotary responds to earthquake in Turkey, Syria
 

Turkey and Syria were struck by a devastating earthquake on 6 February that has killed tens of thousands of people, destroyed thousands of homes and other structures, and left people across the region without shelter in bitterly cold winter weather.

The Rotary world responded to this catastrophe immediately. RI President Jennifer Jones activated our disaster response efforts, communicated with the affected districts, and encouraged governors in those regions to apply for disaster response grants and share information about their relief efforts so that Rotary can amplify the calls for support.

Please join us to honor the Outstanding Educators in Palos Verdes!
