ROTARY’S RESPONSE TO EBOLA OUTBREAK Rotary continues to follow the developments surrounding the Ebola outbreak in West Africa and advice of the World Health Organization and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, our partners in international public health. Strengthening the health infrastructure and supporting and sustaining the deployment of government health workers throughout these outbreak areas are greatly needed. Although Rotary has limited opportunities to respond at a corporate level, our strength as an organization is firmly rooted in the grassroots response of Rotary clubs and Rotarians. Clubs around the world are creating or joining coalitions that are raising funds as well as purchasing and shipping safety equipment and supplies. If you want to let others know about your club project, you can post it on Rotary Ideas, Rotary’s crowdsourcing tool. Club officers can request partners, online contributions, volunteers, and in-kind donations for their projects. While only Rotary projects can request resources, anyone – including the public – can visit the site and donate. The Rotary Foundation continues to support long-term sustainable health care projects through global grants. Questions about contributing to Ebola relief efforts should be sent to relief@rotary.org.

CDC EBOLA FACTS Ebola, previously known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, is a severe, often fatal disease in humans and nonhuman primates (such as monkeys, gorillas, and chimpanzees). Ebola is caused by infection with a virus of the family Filoviridae, genus Ebolavirus. There are five identified Ebolavirus species, four of which have caused disease in humans. The fifth, Reston ebolavirus, has caused disease in nonhuman primates but not in humans. Ebola is found in several African countries. The first Ebola species was discovered in 1976 near the Ebola River in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Since then, outbreaks have appeared sporadically in Africa. The natural reservoir host of Ebola remains unknown. However, on the basis of available evidence and the nature of similar viruses, researchers believe that the virus is animal-borne with bats being the most likely reservoir. Four of the five subtypes occur in an animal host native to Africa. The 2014 outbreak is the largest in history, with reportedly 13,676 cases worldwide. Most are in African nations, with exception of the 4 in the United States and 1 in Spain. Source: cdc.gov

(Melissa DeDomenico-Payne)

Available at http://rotary7570.org/area The purpose in this publication is not only to report some of the past accomplishments and future plans of Rotary and all Rotarians, but also to make our neighbors more aware of how we, as Rotarians, share the philosophy of Rotary, “Service above Self,” in our personal life, our professional life, and our life in our community — the community you and we share. In addition, we would like to update you, our neighbor, about some of the things yet to be done every day, every week, every month and every year, indeed all the years to come in order to help make our world just a little bit better for all those in sorrow, need or distress.
