President's Message for November 2026
Do you know anyone who was directly affected by polio? I would love to have you share your story with me ahead of the November 21 meeting.
I do recall being herded down to a community room in the center of town. There were a bunch of kindergarten-aged kids, standing in line with their mom or dad or grandparents. I don't have an injection scar on my left shoulder so I must have taken the sugar cube version of the vaccine. How about you?
Jim Lewis is a member of our Rotary District 5240. He is a polio survivor and will share his story on November 21. Please join us.
I've attached a November meeting calendar - only two meetings this month are scheduled and I suggested that you find a service project in your community that might benefit from your energy - maybe on November 14.
We are having two fund-raising efforts this year. The first campaign has started with funds generated for The Rotary Foundation. Our suggestion is that each member make a contribution according to their abilities - earmarked for Polio Plus or Peacebuilding or another specific cause or just for the general efforts of our Rotary donations.
Please consider your ability to support these vital causes and make your donation by “Giving Tuesday” on December 1.
Thank you!

ABOUT OUR E-CLUB
As e-club members, we participate fully in Rotary life, enjoying the camaraderie and fellowship with other members and visitors through our get-togethers online. We are a regular club except we meet online, so we can join in from anywhere worldwide. Our club is perfect for Rotarian globetrotters and those who live too far from a traditional club to attend regularly. Everyone is welcome!
Our members come from all over the world, giving us access to an international network of friends and fellow Rotarians! And we meet each other individually whenever the opportunity arises.
To communicate with each other we use the following:
- Whatsapp to communicate with each other in group chats and telephonically.
- ClubRunner, where we maintain our member profiles, and where our E-Club documents and our member contact list can be accessed.
- Zoom, where we conduct our club meetings. It is very easy to use, we send you a link with a passcode to enter the meeting. You will need a device that has a camera to be able to get the best possible experience!
