I wish to thank Haran Ramachandran for publishing our Weekly Bulletin for the last 12 months. Every bulletin
has been interesting and informative and of the highest class. Well done Haran. I would also like to thank all
members for your continued support over the year. I can’t believe this is my last Bulletin Message. I have

Bill Gates meets Rotary International India to discuss Polio campaign
IBNLive - Posted on May 31, 2012 at 06:59pm IST
New Delhi: Bill Gates met Rotary International India on Thursday in New Delhi on his three day visit to the
country where he is expected to meet a number of Government functionaries before heading to Bangalore for
a discussion on philanthropy with India's industrial leaders.
Gates met Rotary leaders – Rajendra K Saboo, Past President, Rotary International , Ashok M Mahajan,
Trustee & Member, International PolioPlus Committee and Deepak Kapur, Chairman, India National PolioPlus
Committee of Rotary International at hotel Oberoi, early morning today where he was presented with a plaque
as a token of appreciation for his support to the global Polio eradication programme.
Bill Gates appreciated the Polio efforts in India however cautioned India not to be complacent especially when
Pakistan is yet to achieve polio-free status. On the importance of Routine Immunization, Rotary led the
discussion for improved coverage to ensure children are healthy to fight other diseases including Polio and
their support for the same.
Rotary International India assured of all help to
Pakistan in eradicating polio. Rotary International
said how Rotary Pakistan and their Rotarian
counterparts are leading the efforts and are in
constant touch and discussing the fight against Polio
and the way India fought and achieved triumph. Dr
Rajendra K Saboo, Past President, Rotary
International said, "If need be, we will be ready to
offer assistance to polio stricken victims of Pakistan
offering them polio corrective surgeries in India or in
Pakistan through our network."
Rotary attributed the basic reasons for India’s
success primarily due to the total ownership of the
campaign by GOI together with State Governments
and also the introduction of bivalent vaccine.
Gates was apprised of the successful model of Muslim Ulema Committee formed by Rotary in UP under the
leadership of Trustee Ashok Mahajan, which led to the minority community leaders playing a crucial role in
achieving the polio-free status. Rotary suggested that similar kind of committee could be formed in Pakistan
and is being pursued.
Rotary expressed that having India taken off the endemic list is not the end in itself. The goal for 3 consecutive
years without a case of virus, thereafter the certification of Polio-free India, followed by the phase-out of OPV
too is essential for India to be certified as a Polio free nation.
Rotary International is the spearheading partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative –consisting of WHO,
UNICEF, CDC and Rotary – that together with the Gates Foundation have been instrumental in bringing out
the resolution recently by the World Health Assembly to declare Polio a global public health emergency.
About Rotary International
Rotary’s commitment to end polio represents the largest private-sector support of a global health initiative
ever. In 1985, Rotary members worldwide vowed to immunize all the world's children against polio. Since
then, Rotary has contributed $850 million to polio eradication.
Rotarians are raising another $200 million to match the Gates Foundation grant of $355 million contributions.
Rotary is an organization of business and professional leaders united worldwide to provide humanitarian
service and help to build goodwill and peace in the world. It is comprised of 1.2 million members working in
over 32,000 clubs in more than 170 countries. Rotary members initiate community projects that address many
of today's most critical issues, such as violence, AIDS, hunger, environment and health care.
The Global Polio Eradication Initiative is spearheaded by the World Health Organization, Rotary International,
the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention and UNICEF.
The Rotary Club of the Hills-Kellyville meets Monday Night at the Castle Hill Tavern 6.15pm for 6.45pm start.

A Really Bad Day
There was this guy at a bar, just looking at his drink.
Club Calendar He stays like that for half of an hour.
Then, this big trouble-making truck driver steps next
to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks
it all down. The poor man starts crying. The truck
driver says, "Come on man, I was just joking. Here,
I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand to see a
man cry."
"No, it's not that. This day is the worst of my life.
First, I fall asleep, and I go late to my office. My
boss, outrageous, fires me. When I leave the
building, to my car, I found out it was stolen. The
police said that they can do nothing. I get a cab to
return home, and when I leave it, I remember I left
my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just
drives away."
Note: Apologies must be in to PP Graeme "I go home, and when I get there, I find my wife in
Rohan by 12pm on Mondays so numbers bed with the gardener. I leave home, and come to
this bar. And just when I was thinking about putting
can be confirmed for dinner. an end to my life, you show up and drink my
poison."
