RYE Pumpkin Carving Last Saturday
Saturday, October 15th, our club sponsored the District 6000 Rotary Youth Exchange pumpkin event.  The annual event provides the District Youth Exchange Counselors with their first opportunity to learn how our District's Inbound students are acclimating to life as an exchange student.  
 
It also gives the students a chance to visit with one another, share stories and learn from so many others.
 
We host the event at the Warren County Historical Society's Facility at the Fairgrounds. Pumpkins are furnished and students allowed to, the first-time for many, the chance to carve a pumpkin into a jack-o-lantern.
 
A significant milestone was realized this year with the attendance of Inbound Exchange students from several different countries, Outbound students for next year's school year, Interact Students from Indianola High School, Rotaract Students from Simpson College, District 6000 Leaders and Rotary Club of Indianola members, all working together for one cause.
 
Thank you for everyone's help and support to make this a success.

World Polio Day - October 24th

Where are we in the fight to eradicate polio? What's left to do? And why does it cost so much? Rotary's World Polio Day event on 24 October will answer these questions and more.

Health officials from our partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative will join Rotary leaders and special guests at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, to give a status update on the eradication campaign.

The wild poliovirus has caused fewer new cases of the disease so far this year than this time last year, but recent setbacks in Nigeria — which was re-classified as polio-endemic in September 2016 — underscore the need for vigilance.

Yet the detection of new cases in northern Nigeria also demonstrates that surveillance efforts are reaching children even in areas affected by conflict. The challenge now is to contain the outbreak and boost immunity in affected areas until the virus is eradicated worldwide.

This year also saw the largest and fastest vaccine rollout in history, as 155 countries and territories switched from the trivalent oral polio vaccine to the bivalent oral polio vaccine. The bivalent oral polio vaccine protects against the only two strains still in circulation and reduces the likelihood of vaccine-derived cases.

  • Stream the 24 October event live at endpolio.org.
  • Register your World Polio Day event for a chance to be recognized in Atlanta.
  • Share the live-stream and educate your social networks about the campaign to #endpolio.
