PROGRESS FOR ROTARY’S US$200
MILLION CHALLENGE FOR POLIO
ERADICATION
As of 31 October, Rotarians have raised about $152 million for Rotary'sUS$200 Million Challenge. These contributions will help Rotary raise $200million to match $355 million in challenge grants received from the Bill &Melinda Gates Foundation. The resulting $555 million will directly supportimmunization campaigns in developing countries, where polio continues toinfect and paralyze children, robbing them of their futures and compound-ing the hardships faced by their families.
As long as polio threatens even one child anywhere in the world, childreneverywhere remain at risk. The stakes are that high.

Rotary History
One day in the fall of 1900,
Paul P. Harris met attorney
Bob Frank for dinner in a
well-off neighborhood on
the North Side of Chicago.
They took a walk around the
area and stopped at shopsalong the way. Harris was
impressed by how Frank
had made friends with many
of the shopkeepers.
Since moving to Chi-
cago to set up his law prac-
tice, Harris had not encoun-
tered the kind of camarade-
rie that Frank enjoyed with
his fellow businessmen. He
wondered whether there
was a way to channel and
expand this type of fellow-
ship, which reminded him of
the New England town
where he'd grown up.
Eventually, Harris per-
suaded other local business-
men to meet and discuss
forming a club for commer-
cial trade, community, andfellowship. His vision laid
the foundation for the Rotary
of today.

cation regarding the Joint meeting, as
PP Alfred clarified, the meeting has
been changed to a day meet. The de-
tails on page five stand, but it will only
be a day meeting. Only PP Simon and
his family will be attending on the
club’s behalf.
PP Simon announced that the
day trip to Melaka was on and details
can be found on page six.
PP Teow talked on Leptospirosis.
His talk was detailed and helpful,
much of its significance absorbed by
the members. As always he was me-

Vice President Ker presided
over the meeting, President Chen
being out of town and able to join us
only during fellowship.
The heartening thing was punc-
tuality, as PP Alfred pointed out and
appreciated the efforts by the mem-
bers. The meeting was called to or-
der at 8.05 P.M.
One minute of silence was ob-
served to commemorate the passing
of two Rotarians.
Dr Chandran, former Rotarian
of RC Kluang passed away last Sat-
urday.
Rtn Dr Lau of Rotary Club of
Singapore passed away on 3rd No-
vember.
There was a slight miscommuni-
ticulous in his explanations, telling us
about the pitfalls and dangers of this
disease. The symptoms and the
treatment. Anyone wanting to know
more about it could pick his brain
during a fellowship.
PE John Ng presented his list of
nominations, a comprehensive one
that will be voted on and decided at
the AGM.
There was a little back and forth
on whether such list should be pre-
sented in a normal meeting or in a
meeting of the Board of Directors. In
the end, it was a formal presentation
and the AGM will decide on the final
crop.
We adjourned to JB Restaurant
for fellowship.

ridding the world of the dis-
ease. But the work is not done.
