What is that Polio Eradication Picture? It’s a picture of Elvis promoting the March of Dimes to support Polio eradication. Many celebrities and sports stars have given of their time, talents, faces, voices, and donations to the Polio Eradication cause worldwide over the years.
Zero is the Magic Number!
The three-year Countdown to History starts after the final Wild Polio case.
Today, we count six weeks since the report of the most recent Wild Polio case.
For Rotary District Leaders (and Influencers) – Know what’s best Polio Eradication “Bang For Your Buck”? Contributions of your Rotary District Designated Funds (DDF) are matched $.50 to the $1 by The Rotary Foundation’s World Fund and are then matched again $2 to $1 by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. So, a $10,000 DDF donation becomes $45,000. That’s an unbeatable deal! See the DDF donation form here file:///C:/Users/terry/Downloads/ddf_donation_form_rotary_foundation_funds_en.pdf
Rotary is committed to raise $50 Million (including Rotarian, public, and DDF donations) to be matched by $100M from the Gates Foundation – for each of the next three years – for a total of $450 million for the Global Polio Eradication effort!

Dealing with grief: https://www.neptunesociety.com/resources/the-guide-to-pet-bereavement-what-to-expect-after-the-loss-of-a-loved-one & more
As many years as I’ve been in the health field, it’s never been easy to lose someone, whether personally or professionally. Although it’s something many people avoid talking about, death & the grief that follows it are unavoidable.
I was reminded of this recently after losing a lifelong friend who lost her battle with cancer. We knew some months ago that we would lose her… but it didn’t make it any easier. My grief is something I’m still dealing with (& know I will continue to deal with). I’ve been doing a lot of research for Public Health Corps on this topic lately in an effort to help any of our readers who may be going through a similar difficult time, & I thought I would share some of my findings with you, as well.

Thoughts about those of us blessed with many decades
A beautiful young person is a Coincidence of Nature. A beautiful old person is a Work of Art. attributed to William Shakespeare
One’s Inner Self designs & illuminates one’s True Beauty. anonymous
Young People think fast. Old People think deep. an African saying
And a joke to end 2016 and start 2017:
An old doctor became very bored in retirement & decided to open a medical clinic.
He put a sign up outside that said:
“Dr Geezer’s Clinic. Get your treatment for $500. If not cured, get back $1,000.”
Doctor “Young,” who was positive that this old geezer didn’t know beans about medicine, thought this would be a great opportunity to get $1,000 so he went to Dr Geezer’s clinic.
Dr Young: “Dr.Geezer, I have lost all taste in my mouth. Can you please help me?”
Dr. Geezer: “Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 & put 3 drops in Dr Young’s mouth.”
Dr. Young: Aaagh!! — “This is Gasoline!”
Dr. Geezer: “Congratulations! You’ve got your taste back. That will be $500.”
Dr Young gets annoyed & goes back after a couple of days figuring to recover his money.
Dr Young: “I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything.”
Dr Geezer: “Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 & put 3 drops in the patient’s mouth.”
Dr Young: “Oh, no you don’t, — that is Gasoline!”
Dr Geezer: “Congratulations! You’ve got your memory back. That will be $500.”
Dr. Young (after having lost $1000) leaves angrily & comes back after several more days.
Dr.Young: “My eyesight has become weak — I can hardly see anything!!!!”
Dr. Geezer: “Well, I don’t have any medicine for that so here’s your $1000 back.” (giving him a $10 bill)
Dr. Young: “But this is only $10!”
Dr. Geezer: “Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be $500.”
Moral of story — Just because you’re “young” doesn’t mean that you can outsmart an “old Geezer”.
Remember: Don’t make old people mad. We don’t like being old in the first place, so it doesn’t take much to tick us off.

Mahatma Gandhi’s quote about animals
Mahatma Gandhi: “The greatness of a nation & its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” – Mahatma Gandhi
Jim Willis: “I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter…the cast-offs of human society. I saw in their eyes love, hope, fear, dread, sadness & betrayal. And I was angry. “God,” I said, “This is terrible! Why don’t You do something?” God was silent for a moment, & then He spoke softly. “I have done something,” He replied. “I created YOU.”
