Waunakee Rotary becomes Dementia Friendly
Posted on May 08, 2015
Waunakee Rotary club became the first “Dementia Friendly” Rotary club in Dane County recently.  At its March 12th weekly meeting, club members heard a presentation by Joy Schmidt from the Wisconsin Alzheimer’s & Dementia Alliance.  Joy informed the club of ways to recognize those struggling with Alzheimer and dementia symptoms, how to make them feel more at ease, and how to better communicate with them.  Joy’s organization is also working with businesses in Waunakee in an effort to make Waunakee a Dementia Friendly community.  With information and coping tools in place, Waunakee Rotary hopes its club events are supportive to those who may be suffering with Alzheimer’s or dementia and to their care-givers.
 
For information about how your club or community might become “Dementia Friendly”, please contact:

Rotary Minute
Posted by Toni Pabon on Apr 23, 2015
You might notice a new column on the weekly assignments called Rotary Minute.  This is intended to be a quick one minute or less talk about Rotary.  It can be a personal experience that involves Rotary or it can be a "Did you know?" fact.  Be creative with it.  Remember to keep it short and simple.  We will randomly assign members to give a Rotary minute after the recital of the 4-Way Test.
 
If you cannot attend the meeting you are assigned to, please contact Toni Pabon.

News from Rotary International
How a simple school project in India became a global grant
Two years ago, U.S. Rotary members in Maine set out to improve the education system in Bikaner, Rajasthan, an Indian city near the border of Pakistan. The Rotary Club of Kennebunk Portside chose Bikaner because club member Rohit Mehta was originally from the area and had connections there. Mehta put the club in contact with Rotarians in India to provide desks for four government-run schools. But when community leaders returned with a request for more desks, the Maine Rotarians decided they had to think bigger. The Rotary Foundation had rolled out its new grant model, which required that the...
 
Korean sailor makes waves for End Polio Now
Enjoying calm winds and peaceful Pacific waters, Seung Jin Kim dove off his 43-foot sailboat, the Arapani, to swim with some dolphins nearby. The serenity that day near the equator was a stark contrast to the 60 mph winds and 23-foot waves he had to fight around Cape Horn, the southern tip of South America. But Kim, a veteran sailor and member of the Rotary Club of Seokmun, in Chungcheongnam, Korea, expected such challenges when he set out in mid-October on a 25,600-mile journey around the world. In addition to fulfilling a lifelong dream, Kim is using the trip to raise awareness and funds...
 
Monrovia club’s Ebola fight not finished
After the first cases of Ebola reached Liberia's capital, Monrovia, last June, local Rotary members feared that the city's limited health care system wouldn't be able to contain the highly infectious, often-deadly disease. Those fears were realized when infections quickly multiplied, underscoring the speed with which Ebola can spread in an urban center. It was the first time the hemorrhagic fever had threatened a major city since it erupted in West Africa last March. Now, after months of crisis-level response, and with the number of new cases declining, club members are looking to the long...
