Rotary connects 1.2 million members from more than 200 countries and geographical areas. Their work impacts lives at both the local and international levels, from helping families in need in their own communities to working toward a polio-free world. Polio Eradication Rotary is close to eliminating the second human disease in history after smallpox, with a 99 percent reduction in polio cases worldwide since 1985, when Rotary launched its PolioPlus program. In 1988, Rotary spearheaded the creation of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative with its partners the World Health Organization, UNICEF and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Polio eradication remains Rotary’s top priority. To date, Rotary has contributed more than US$1.2 billion and countless volunteer hours to help immunize more than two billion children against polio in 122 countries. Currently, Rotary is working to raise $35 million per year through 2018 for polio
eradication, which will be matched 2 to 1 by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

We love having local high school seniors attend our Hot Springs National Park Rotary meetings. They are invited to attend for two weeks and on the third week they get to put their speaking skills to use as they tell us all about themselves and their goals.

Our student host and Rotarian Justin Hickman introduced our most recent student guest speaker, Elli Graves. Elli is a senior at Jessieville High School.

She thanked Rotary for the opportunity to visit our club and recalled the programs that she enjoyed during her visits. Elli also admitted that she had no idea what Rotary was until she was invited to come, and her counselor shared who we are and what our mission is.

She will take lessons learned during her time with us into her future endeavors. We wish Elli great success in all that she wants to accomplish after graduation from high school. We hope for her a meaningful college experience as she prepares for her career.

Thank you for visiting and sharing your story Elli!

If you are coming to our meeting this week, just a reminder we are at Embassy Suites for our Salute to Veterans. A few days early is better than a day late. Lol

Hot Springs National Park Rotary has planned a special salute to veterans on Wednesday November 5 at 12pm. MEMBERS: We have a fantastic program put together as our Salute to Veterans. It is so special we had to change locations for this one week only. If you know a Veteran this would be a great time to invite them as your guest.

Please note this is a location change from our normal meeting place.

At our recent Hot Springs National Park Rotary meeting we had the pleasure of presenting a $1500 Grant Donation to the City of Hot Springs Community Resource Center . Mary Metcalf, TRF Grant Committee Chair, and her outstanding committee members voted to present The Hot Springs Community Resource Center with a $1,500 grant to purchase cell phone charging lockers for the CRC. The plaque that will be on the charging station and the check to purchase the lockers were presented at our outing on Wednesday. The Community Enhancement and Environmental Committee also got involved by canvassing the surrounding neighborhood doing a clean up project. At Hot Springs National Park Rotary we love serving our community and making it the best it can be, and we have fun doing it! We would love to have you visit us as we meet each Wednesday at noon.

The Rotary Foundation funds that are raised find their way back into our local community via grants. Our club was honored to present the Hot Springs Community Resource Center a grant of $1500 recently. If you are a Rotarian please consider supporting the foundation.
Carolyn Jean Domerese and her committee would be glad to help you get a monthly donation set up.

November is the Rotary Foundation Month.

Since 1917, The Rotary Foundation has been the engine that drives Rotary International’s mission to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.

Through the generosity of Rotarians and friends worldwide, the Foundation funds life-changing projects that promote peace, save the environment, fight disease, provide clean water, support education, save mothers and children, and grow local economies.

UNITE FOR GOOD!
The theme for Rotary International this year is Unite For Good and we have been serving our community to live by example.

The Community Enhancement & Environment Committee of Hot Springs National Park Rotary not only encouraged members to donate food and or gift cards to the City of Hot Springs Community Resource Center , but they did a cleanup around the neighborhood when we finished lunch. Over $1300 in cash and gift cards to purchase food pantry items was donated in addition to lots of groceries.

Truly showing service about self! If you are looking for ways to be more involved in your community, we would love to have you join us.
