As members may recall, a couple of weeks ago we had reason to call for an ambulance to attend at Cilantro.
I am taking the opportunity now to recommend to members, and whoever else finds this article, to consider installing the Emergency Plus app on their smart device. And, to ensure you place a shortcut on your Home Screen.
 
Opening the app at a time of emergency will give you immediate access to the appropriate phone numbers and, very importantly, provide accurate location information. Often a simple street address may not be available or useful.
Read on into this article for how to obtain the app and a summary of what it contains.
President Tim was chairperson for this evening's club meeting at Cilantro where club members, partners and guests enjoyed a wonderful dinner prepared by students studying at the Cordon Bleu Cookery School.   Tony Ryan performed Invocation and the Toast to Rotary and Australia.  Guests included Leonie Ryan, Puja Mahajan, Gary Ramage, Kieran and Bronwyn Lynch, former club member Richard Wright, Marie Arendsen and Jenny Fox from the R.C. Hampton, Jenny Stone, Kirsten Oakley, Chris Burrows, Peter Cummins from the R.C. Box Hill, Ross Delahunty, Ian Crane, and of course our guest speaker Tim Wilson.

Waste disposal, particularly plastic waste, is a major problem for remote villages and islands in Fiji. There is no recycling possible in these remote areas, so all garbage is either thrown into a casual landfill, burned in an open fire, left at the side of the road, or thrown into the sea.
 
There have been some disturbing developments in the End Polio campaign, initiated by Rotary in 1985.
Please note, this is not an official update but one that I have prepared to update members of my own Rotary Club.
Background:
Since 1985, Rotary in conjunction with the World Health Organisation and more recently The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have sought to eliminate Polio from the planet. This has involved the immunization of some  2.5 billion children in 122 countries. Background of campaign here.
This campaign has been incredibly successful, to the point where it could be claimed that cases have been reduced by 99.9%.
Over the last two years, Polio (Type 1) has been endemic in only two countries namely Pakistan and Afghanistan where in 2022 there were 22 cases in total and 2023 there were 12 cases in total.
This year, 2024 has taken a turn, on two fronts.
Helen Nodrum was chairperson for today's club meeting.  Alan Kempton performed invocation and the toast to Rotary and Australia.  Charles attended via Zoom,  and Lili De Brango from Holmesglen attended as a guest.  Apologies were received from Terry Kane, Fr James Grant, Kevin Egan and Linda O'Brien.   We wish Faye Weeks all the best for her upcoming surgery.
