My Fellow Rotarians,

It seems to me there is no end to the opportunities to give and help our friends around

the world. This past month our neighbors to the east were hit by a vicious hurricane

and many islands were nearly wiped out, brought down to nothing. Just north of us

South Carolina was hit with the rains and flooding of a thousand years.

Fortunately, some years ago our District established the Robbins Fund, a 501.c.3 de-

signed specifically for collecting and disbursing emergency funds in the situations just

like the ones that have occurred in past weeks. Many of our clubs and members have

already sent checks to support our neighbors and I know many of you will be doing

the same in the next few weeks. I know we all agree it’s better to give than receive.

November 13-15 is our District Conference at Club Med in Port St. Lucie. Now is the

time to register on DaCdb and make your hotel reservation by following the directions

given. It’s a great place to relax with your Rotary friends and hear a little bit about

Rotary. Don’t miss the opportunity to take a long weekend before the busy holiday

season hits us. Remember, no jackets or ties. Bring your cowboy boots and hats, and

mosey down for some real hay stacking nights. Remember, ya’ll only cross the prairie

once. See ya at the corral!

Many of our Clubs are doing a Purple Pinkie Finger program this month. Your club

can participate in this educational fund raiser for Polio Plus, too. We are close, but not

there yet. Only two countries are left. Make sure you are doing your part to defeat this

enemy of mankind.

Several of you have contacted me with interest in building a Rotary Club in Cuba.

Rotary International has requested that no one attempt to build a club in Cuba at this

time without first contacting Rotary International. Obviously, there are numerous is-

sues involved and the timing is important. I repeat! Do not attempt to build a Rotary

Club in Cuba without first contacting Rotary International.

It has been very gratifying to see how many of our Clubs are doing joint projects with

other clubs in our District. If you aren’t, contact your Assistant Governor and tell him

or her you want to work with another club. By working together you can take on larg-

er projects and make a bigger impact. Once again, thanks for all you are doing and

keep up the great work. Rotarians are amazing.

Be a Gift to the World,

DG Larry Herman

October is Economic and Community Development Month

6990 Di str ic t Newslette r– October 20 15

around the world:

The Rotary Club of Apo, Nige-

ria, aimed to empower wid-

owed women in their communi-

ty by providing microcredit loans for trading and training

on how to grow their businesses

to support their families.

In Albania, the Rotary Clubs of

Gubbio and Korça worked with

a local organization to provide125 beehives to 25 fam-

ilies. To create a source of sus-

tainable income, training on

beekeeping and sales of bee products was also conducted.

At the end of the year, the bee-

hives were split, creating bee-

hives for 25 more families.

Working with a local organiza-

tion, the Rotary Club of Ma-kati-San Lorenzo in the Philip-

pines provided microcredit

loans to more than 1,600 rice

farmers in their district and

To promote growth and develop-ment of local economies and com-

munities, the United Nations (U.N.)

Millennium Development Goals

encourage us to focus on eradicat-ing poverty, uplifting and empower-

ing women, creating global partner-

ships for development, and ensuring environmental sustainability. Ac-

cording to the 2014 U.N. progress

report, extreme poverty has been reduced by half, women’s status in

the labor market is improving, the

debt burden on developing coun-

tries remains stable and the use of technology continues to grow with

almost three billion people online

and seven billion mobile-cellular

subscriptions.

Throughout October, Rotary’s Eco-

nomic and Community Develop-ment Month, we celebrate our pro-

gress and commitment to helping

grow local economies. A few exam-

ples of club service projects that are helping improve communities

conducted training on rice mill operations for sustainable busi-

ness efforts.

Progress has been made, but we

must continue to focus on promot-ing sustainable economic growth

and achieve employment and de-

cent work for all. Visit Rotary

Showcase on www.rotary.org >My

spirational success stories to help your club plan a community devel-

opment project.

Help for Hurricane Joaquin Victims in the Bahamas

Attention District 6990 Rotarians: as you know by now, the Bahamas were

hit hard by a terrible hurricane at the end of September, causing serious dam-

age to the central islands. Rotarian Mike Stafford has provided a list of need-

ed items to help restore normalcy to the affected islands. Rotarians on Grand

Bahama Island are working to help those who have suffered loss. I urge you

and your clubs to jump in and see what you can do to help our Bahamian

friends — either by cash donation or collection of goods.

Donate to The Robbins Fund (our district disaster fund for just such events)

by sending a check to District Treasurer Fred Sadoff. We will make a mone-

tary donation to GBI relief efforts from that fund. Please help as soon as pos-

sible. Contact me with questions, suggestions, or offer of resources.

Yours in Rotary Service, DG Larry Hermann

November 7th is Rotary Day at the United Nations

Page 4 6990 Di str ic t Newslette r – October 2 015

Once again, Rotary Day at the United Nations is

upon us! Each year, Rotary Day at the United Nations

(U.N.) invites more than 1,300 Rotarians and guests to

come together at U.N. Headquarters in New York. The

program is designed to inspire and educate, as well as pro-

vide insight into the relationship between Rotary Interna-

tional and the United Nations.

It is a truly amazing experience, and one to be heartily

recommended to all those who can make it to New York

City in the future. Unfortunately, the event is sold out for

this year but Rotary Day at the U.N. is an annual event.

This unique opportunity offers both a visit to U.N. Head-

quarters in NYC as well as participation in panel discus-

sions featuring leaders and officials from Rotary Interna-

tional with the United Nations and its affiliated Non-

Governmental Organizations (NGOs). Rotary Day also

includes a special program for youth interested in humani-

tarian service. Youth have the opportunity to hear about

some projects that Interact Clubs are working

on, an overview of the U.N. and much more.

Rotary’s relationship with the United Nations dates back

to 1945 when some 49 Rotary members acted as dele-

gates, advisors, and consultants at the United Nations

Charter Conference. Thus Rotary and the United Nations

have a long history of working together and sharing simi-

lar visions for a more peaceful world. Today, Rotary

holds the highest consultative status offered to an NGO by

the U.N.’s Economic and Social Council, which oversees

many specialized U.N. agencies.

“The invitation to Rotary International to participate in

the United Nations Conference as consultant to the United

States delegation was not merely a gesture of good will

and respect toward a great organization. It was a simple

recognition of the practical role Rotary’s members have

played and will continue to play in the development of

understanding among nations.”

The D6990 Ro-

tary Foundation

Seminar will be

held on Saturday morning, October 31, 2015, from

9:00 a.m. until noon at the Huizenga Sales Institute,

Nova Southeastern University, 3301 College Avenue,

Davie, FL 33314-7796, in the DeSantis Building,

Room 3000. The seminar will cover the basics of the

Rotary Foundation and give your club an opportunity

to get answers to all your Foundation questions.

The Rotary Foundation-Grants Management Sem-

inar will be held on Saturday afternoon, October

31, 2015, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the same

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced on 25 September that Nigeria is now polio-free and has been

officially removed from the list of countries where polio is endemic. With Nigeria’s historic achievement, polio

remains endemic in only two countries—Afghanistan and Pakistan. This means transmission of the virus has never

been stopped in those two countries.

Nigeria was the last country in Africa where polio was endemic.The continent celebrated its own first full year

without the disease on 11 August. Once three years have passed without a case in WHO’s entire African region,

officials will certify polio eradicated there.

“Rotary congratulates Nigeria on its tremendous accomplishment in stopping polio,” says RI President K.R. Ravin-

dran. “On behalf of the entire Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), we thank volunteers, health workers and

parents in communities across Nigeria for their tireless commitment to ensuring every last child is protected against

this devastating disease. In the months ahead, their dedication will remain as important as ever, as we work to keep

Nigeria polio-free and to eliminate polio from its final strongholds in Pakistan and Afghanistan.”

Nigeria’s success is the result of several sustained efforts, including domestic and international financing, the com-

mitment of thousands of health workers, and new strategies that reached children who had not previously been im-

munized because of a lack of security in the country’s northern states.

Nigeria removed from list of Polio-Endemic Countries

2016-2017.

For your convenience, both events are being held the

same day at the same venue. Lunch, however, will be

on your own. Parking is available in the garage next

to the DeSantis building for $1/hr. See

www.nova.edu/locations/visitors.html. You can and

should register at NO charge to you for one or both

events on the DaCdb calendar on http://

www.directory-online.com/.

We look forward to seeing you. In the meantime,

please contact me if you have any questions.

Best regards,

Lee

Polio Plus International Day, October 24, 2015

Celebrate with a Purple Pinkie Project!

By Margarita Lartitegui, District 6990 POLIO PLUS Chair for 2014-2016

We are 99 percent done with polio. But we still have a sig-

nificant budget gap to fill, and Polio Plus funding should be

a cause for ALL of us. Rotary International, its partners,

and thousands of volunteers have devoted time and passion.

What can you do to raise awareness and financially support

the Polio Plus Initiative in your club? You can be a Polio

Plus advocate in your club, in your Community, and on so-

cial media. Another meaningful and memorable activity is a

Purple Pinkie Project.

Designed to mimic the marking of the pinkie finger with Gentian Violet ink to signal that a child has

received the Polio vaccine in polio-endemic countries, the Purple Pinkie Project aims to motivate stu-

dents in elementary, middle and even high school to donate at least $1 for polio vaccines. By teaching

children about polio and their ability to make a difference in the lives of children in other parts of the

world who are not as fortunate, you can raise awareness and funds to help eradicate polio.

Purple Pinkie is an easy-to-do fundraising event. Identify at least one school in your community. Pre-

sent your Polio Plus case and the objectives of the Purple Pinkie Project to the Principal. Share a Rotary

video with them that tells the End Polio Now story in a compelling way. Set a day for the activity, and

conduct it in a way that leaves students and teachers feeling proud of what they’ve accomplished. One

U.S. dollar saves five children in a polio-endemic country from death or a life of crippling pain. Their

“Purple Pinkie Promise” as evidenced by their stained little finger is a sign of their commitment to save

other children from polio.

On the very first Purple Pinkie Project done in Weston in May 2014 we raised $1,500 in three hours.

That donation was matched by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation by 2-to-1, resulting in $4,500,

which (at $.60/dose) bought enough vaccine to inoculate 7,500

kids.

District 6990 raised $102,000 for Polio Plus last year. Our per club

goal for 2015-2016 is $1,000. With a Purple Pinkie Project, your

club could go a long way to meeting the goal and passing along a

memorable message to our children and the community. Just con-

tact me at [email protected] or (561) 843-8776 for infor-

mation about how to execute a Purple Pinkie Project in your com-

munity and support our district-wide Polio Plus initiative.
