Operation: Tarp the PanhandleOur District is initiating a campaign to help provide relief to the victims of Hurricane Michael in the Florida Panhandle part of District 6940 (John Medina DG). The campaign is called, “Operation: Tarp the Panhandle.” We are working closely with District Governor John Medina and their members. John stated the middle of his district has been completely destroyed. Our goal is to target homes that are structurally sound but are missing some or all of their shingles. It is difficult to determine how many homes fit the profile, but it could be in the thousands. We want to put tarps on those homes, so families can begin to return and have some sense of stability brought back to their lives. TO READ MORE...Click on Operation: Tarp the Panhandle ABOVE. |

Governors Welcome
Welcome to Rotary District 7505, the combination of D7640 and D7500. My name is Bill Donnelly, and I am the District Governor for the 2018-19 Rotary Year. I am not an expert in every of the aspects of your club and our district, so I hope you will be open with me when I ask questions. I am not probing to look for weaknesses but to see how we are doing things now and how we might look for improvements. My interest our interest, in creating strong clubs supported by a strong district. Strength in numbers as we say. I’d like to share some thoughts with you now. The first is to have fun. Whether you’re working with your club, outside organizations or the district, let’s promote a culture that ensures that we have fun every day. The second is to be kind. You will hear me say this all year long, “Kindness is an intentional act, be kind to someone every day, BE THEIR INSPIRATION! The third is to get more deeply involved in the community. We started there, we are there so let’s go back to the future. Some of the more successful clubs have been those who are doing small hands on projects in the community. No fund raising, no check writing just giving back with their hands where they can be and need to be used. Last one has to do with teamwork. We are one team made up of many small teams. If you need help, ask for it, we are here to support you. Provide help when it can help others do a better job. No doubt this means that you will be making extra efforts. Those efforts will be recognized by the people around you and at a minimum, you will realize that some days you, too, need help. Having provided it, you will be gratified when your fellow Rotarians step up to do the same. We still have work to do in putting the final touches together for Rotary District 7505, i.e. the District 7505 website. We appreciate your input. Also, please let us know if we are falling short of your expectations, we welcome the feedback. Those are my thoughts for today. Thanks for listening/reading – be kind to someone every day, BE THEIR INSPIRATION!  |

Point Boro Rotary Club Donates $10000.00 for Melanoma Research Press Release
November 30, 2016
________________________________________________________________________________
Presenting a check for $10,000 to the Melanoma Research Foundation (MRF), the Point Pleasant Boro Rotary Club marked an achievement of donating a total contribution of $60,000 in the last six years.
This contribution, as it has for the previous five years, represents a portion of the proceeds realized from the Club’s 9th Annual Kevin A. Brue Melanoma Awareness Father’s Day 5K and Fun Run held last June.
The MRF is the largest independent, national organization devoted to fighting melanoma, the most serious of skin cancers in the United States. It was founded in 1996 and regularly achieves the highest rating from Charity Navigator, the nation’s largest and most utilized independent charity evaluator.
“This Club made a commitment six years ago to use the race proceeds to help in the battle against melanoma,” remarked Club President David Guetzlaff “and in each of the last six years the Club was able to donate $10,000 to help the Melanoma Research Foundation. Our Club is proud to be part of this campaign to fight one of the fastest growing cancers in the United States.”
The race is named for Kevin A. Brue, an avid runner and former Point Boro High School athlete, who passed away after a brave struggle with melanoma. His father John Brue, Sr. and his brother, John Brue, Jr. are past presidents of the Club.
Tim Turnham, Executive Director of the MRF, in a message from his office in Washington, D. C. stated “We are truly grateful to The Point Pleasant Boro Rotary Club and its members for their support of the Melanoma Research Foundation (MRF). It is because of the generosity of groups like this, that the MRF is able to fund cutting-edge research in cutaneous, ocular, mucosal and acral melanoma. There are over one million individuals living with melanoma and we are able to help these patients by supporting the doctors and researchers who are dedicated to finding a cure.”
“Every step taken in the fight builds on a foundation to provide amazing hope. The life expectancy for a person stricken with melanoma has increased considerably since my first visit to the Point Pleasant Boro Rotary Club six years ago” noted Mr. Turnham.
“Melanoma can strike anyone, noted Thomas Santoro, Jr. immediate past president of the Club “and there is a one in 50 lifetime risk of developing melanoma. Melanoma is the most common form of cancer for young adults 25 to 29-years-old and the second most common cancer in adolescents and young adults 15 to 29-years-old.”
The work of the Rotary Club has allowed it to help St. Gregory’s Pantry; sponsor a youth water safety program; fund a dictionary donation for each third grade student at Nellie Bennett and Ocean Road schools; and, award scholarships to local high school graduates. The Club is a primary partner with the Boro Police Department in the Law Enforcement Against Drugs (LEAD) program in Point Pleasant’s elementary and middle schools and underwrites a related self-confidence poster contest. It has provided support in the creation of a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) classroom at Nellie Bennett School.
Additionally, the club contributes to Rotary International’s goal to eradicate polio; provide clean water in underdeveloped areas of the world; and, help provide adequate shelter for those in disaster areas. It also supports Face of America, a program that honors the men and women who were wounded or disabled while in service to our nation and Wreaths Across America, honoring our deceased veterans.
Preparations are now underway to hold the 10th annual 5K on Saturday, June 17, 2017. Jim Higgins, Race Director, indicated that “The energetic spirit demonstrated in the past by the borough administration and several of its departments, the school system, the running community, local businesses, our fellow residents and our Club members, points to the race sustaining its goal to generate assistance to many charitable and community-based groups. It is really quite an accomplishment that the race is approaching a decade.”
Rotary International is a nonprofit international organization with 1.2 million members in over 34,200 clubs worldwide. Founded in 1905 in Chicago, its members are dedicated to living its motto of “Service Above Self.”
The Point Pleasant Boro Club was established in 1971 and meets each Wednesday at 6:15 p.m. at Simko’s Grill, 403 Higgins Avenue, Brielle.

Essential changes for clubs and districts2016 Council on Legislation (The numbers in parentheses identify the relevant legislative enactments).Attendance
Ability to change rules. Clubs may relax or tighten attendance requirements and termination policies for non-attendance. However, clubs are still expected to forward attendance reports to the governor. Any club that wishes to continue adhering to the traditional attendance requirements may do so. (16-21)
Rule of 85. Rotarians can be excused from attendance if the combined total of their years of membership in one or more clubs plus their age equals at least 85, with their years of membership totaling at least 20. (16-35)
Club Board

Board meeting minutes. Written minutes should be prepared for all club board meetings and be made available to members within 60 days of that meeting. (16-01)
Club Finances
Admission fees. New members can be admitted without paying admission fees. However, clubs may also choose to retain these fees, and they have the flexibility to add admission or other fees to their bylaws. (16-07)
Club dues increased. To address both financial challenges and the need to improve service to clubs, RI semiannual dues were increased by $4 for each of the next three years — to US$30.00 per half year in 2017-2018, US$32.00 per half year in 2018-2019, and US$34.00 per half year in 2019-2020. (16-99)
Club Meetings
Ability to change meeting schedules. Clubs can now vary their meeting days and times, and can cancel meetings, as long as they meet at least twice a month. However, any club that wishes to adhere to the traditional requirements regarding meetings and cancellations may do so. (16-21)
Canceling a meeting. Clubs can cancel a meeting if it falls during a week that includes a holiday. (16-26)
In-person and online meeting participation. Clubs can have in-person meetings, online meetings, allow online participation for an in-person meeting, or switch between any of these formats. (16-30)
Council on Legislation
Proposed legislation. Only two types of proposals will be considered: enactments, which seek changes to RI’s constitutional documents, and position statements from the RI Board. (16-113)
Council representatives. Representatives will serve for three years, starting on 1 July of the year following their selection. For example, the 2019 Council representative would take office on 1 July 2017 and serve until 30 June 2020. (16-114)
Council on Resolutions. A Council on Resolutions consisting of Council representatives will meet online annually to consider recommendations. Resolutions may be proposed by a club, district conference, the RIBI general council or conference.

District Changes
Moving clubs into adjacent districts. The Board can merge a district with fewer than 1,100 members, or divide districts with more than 100 clubs by moving clubs into adjacent districts. (16-84)
Two years for districting changes to take effect. Any decision by the Board to eliminate or change district boundaries won’t become effective until at least 24 months after it is made. (16-86)
District Leadership
Vice governors. Having a vice governor is no longer mandatory. This role replaces the governor in case of that person’s inability to perform their duties. If the district uses a nominating committee, the committee selects a past governor proposed by the governor-elect. If the nominating committee doesn’t receive a nomination, or if a nominating committee was not used, the governor-elect may choose a past governor as vice governor. The vice governor serves in the year following his or her selection. (16-74, 16-76, 16-77)

While references to e-clubs have been removed from Rotary’s constitutional documents, e-clubs may continue to name and promote themselves as Rotary clubs that meet exclusively or primarily on-line. (16-82)
Elections
Concurring with a governor selection challenge. The number of clubs that must concur with a club’s challenge to the nominated candidate has been increased to 10 other clubs, or 20 percent of the total number of clubs in the district, whichever number is higher. Only clubs that are at least one year old as of 1 July of that year are counted in the total and may concur with a challenge. (16-71) Special elections nominating procedure streamlined. If a district restarts the governor selection process due to special circumstances, the governor does not need to repeat the request for suggestions from clubs if there were none made during the first nominating process. (16-72)
Magazines
Joint magazine subscriptions. Two Rotarians residing at the same address may choose to subscribe jointly to The Rotarian or to the regional magazine prescribed for their club. (16-96)
Membership
Rules and qualifications. Clubs may determine their own rules or requirements for transferring members, dual membership, and honorary members. They’re also free to continue following the traditional provisions for these members. The only mandatory qualifications for membership are that Rotarians must be adults who have demonstrated good character, integrity and leadership; have a good reputation in their business, profession and community; and are willing to serve in their community and around the world. (16-36, 16-38)
New membership types. Clubs may offer associate, corporate, family, or other membership types. Clubs offering these additional types would report these members to Rotary as “active” for purposes of inclusion on the club invoice. Other financial obligations (club dues, meal costs, etc.), attendance requirements, and service expectations for these members are determined by the club. However, only active members may be considered for office and count in determining a club’s voting strength. (16-36)
Dual membership in Rotary and Rotaract clubs. Rotaractors can simultaneously hold separate membership in a Rotaract club and a Rotary club. (16-40)
Transferring member statement. Potential members who owe money to another club are ineligible for membership. Clubs must seek confirmation that a former Rotarian does not have any outstanding debt to their previous club. When a club requests a statement from the club of a member who wishes to transfer, or who was previously a member, as to whether that person owes money, the request must be responded to within 30 days. If no response is provided, it is assumed that the member doesn’t owe anything. These changes are in the RI Bylaws but are no longer repeated in the Standard Rotary Club Constitution. (16-51)
New Clubs
Charter member minimum. New clubs need at least 20 members to be chartered. (16-83)
Suspension
Suspension of membership. Clubs may now suspend a member for a maximum of 90 days. At the end of that time, they must either terminate or reinstate the member. A suspended member has the right to appeal the suspension or request mediation or arbitration. (16-49, 16-50)
Suspension or termination of clubs because of litigation. Clubs can be suspended or terminated if one of their members takes legal action against RI or The Rotary Foundation — including action against directors, trustees, officers, and employees — before exhausting all Rotary remedies. The Council also clarified the conditions under which the RI Board may take action against districts with repeated election complaints. (16-81)

Point Boro Rotary Club’s 9th annual Kevin A. Brue Melanoma Awareness Father’s Day 5KPOINT PLEASANT BORO ROTARY CLUB
P.O. Box 496
Point Pleasant, NJ 08742-0496
PRESS RELEASE
June 19, 2016
Devin Hart, a rising sophomore at Point Boro High School, started his summer vacation by cruising to a convincing victory in the Point Boro Rotary Club’s 9th annual Kevin A. Brue Melanoma Awareness Father’s Day 5K last Saturday, June 18.
The 5K and the One-Mile Fun Run are named after Kevin Brue, a former Point Boro High School runner, who passed away after a courageous battle with melanoma. John Brue, Sr. and John Brue, Jr. have served as Rotary Club president.
Mayor Bob Sabosik, on behalf of the Boro council and administration, presented the Brue family with a proclamation memorializing June 11th as Kevin A. Brue Melanoma Awareness Day in the Boro.
“Race conditions were perfect; it was one of the most successful runs we’ve held,” remarked Jim Higgins, race director “and our Club members were out in force to guarantee that the runners and their supporters were treated to a great experience.”
Mr. Higgins also stated “Our goal was to have a minimum of 450 registered runners and we had 480 by last count.”
The races began at the rear entrance of Community Park. After winding through the Bay Head Shores neighborhood the runners finished inside the park adjacent to Bridge Avenue. The 5K is a certified United States Track and Field event.
For the second consecutive year the top male finishers were Point Pleasant residents.
The fifteen year old Mr. Hart led all competitors home in a course record time of 16 minutes and 37 seconds, breaking the previous record of 17:02 set last year by Point Pleasant’s Dave Slavinski.
Dylan Peters, who graduated from Point Boro High School the previous evening, turned in a fine second place finish in 17:35. Mr. Peters and Mr. Hart were track and cross country teammates. Brian Norling of Point Pleasant grabbed third place in a time of 17:49 and was presented a trophy as the first father to finish the 5K.
Capturing the first place honors in the women’s 5K division was Jenna Dubrow of Jackson. Ms. Dubrow clocked a time of 18:46. She is a track and cross country coach at Jackson High School and won this event in 2011, 2013 and 2015.
Taking second place for the women was Meagan Drapkin in 19:36. Third place was picked up by Brielle’s Christine Arsego at 20 minutes and 19 seconds.
First place in the One-Mile Fun Run went to Nolan Kus of Jackson in 6 minutes and 52 seconds. Kate Stoughton from Brick was the first female in the mile event with a time of 7 minutes and 40 seconds.
The top three male and female 5K finishers in nine age groups were awarded medals for their achievement. The youngest medal recipient was 5 year old Ava Johnson with a third in the under-14 category. Joe Placente, an 84 year old Toms River resident was the most senior finisher with second place honors in the 80-plus group.
Complete race results can be viewed by going to www.spectasport.com.
A large contingent of the Sole Sisters, a Point Pleasant-based running program for girls 8 - 14 years old, competed in the 5K and Fun Run.
The Brue Crew Band, led by John Brue, Jr., entertained the Community Park crowd. Sharon Malone started the morning off with a strong rendition of our country’s national anthem.
The runners were treated to bagels from Dunkin’ Donuts, Rt. 35 in Point Pleasant Beach; bananas and oranges from Nature’s reward on Bridge Avenue; subs provided by Jersey Mike’s/Bridge Avenue; and, water from All American Ford.
Emphasizing the importance of melanoma awareness, each runner received sunscreen and skin care products courtesy of dermatologists Dr. Patricia McCormack in Point Pleasant Beach and Dr. Avery Kuflik in Toms River and wrist bands supplied by the Melanoma Research Foundation.
Race committee member Joe Doherty observed that “Melanoma strikes men and women of all ages, all races and skin types. With a one in 50 lifetime risk of developing melanoma, more than 135,000 Americans are likely to have a positive diagnosis this year.” He added “It is the most common form of cancer for young adults 25 to 29-years-old and the second most common cancer in adolescents and young adults 15 to 29-years-old.”
Club President Tom Santoro, Jr. noted that “A lot of hard work and planning go into this event each year and the goal is to have it benefit a broad spectrum of causes ranging from our local community, donations to melanoma research and contributing to Rotary International’s projects and initiatives like eradicating certain diseases and making life better in developing countries.”
“A lot of what the Club accomplishes during the year is a direct result of the support from the runners and a very generous community,” said Mr. Doherty. He pointed out that OceanFirst Bank, with branches in Point Pleasant and Point Pleasant Beach, served as the prime sponsor for the ninth consecutive year.
Mr. Doherty also singled out Stop & Shop, All American Ford, National Data Mart, Century Carpet, Lenny’s Markets and Modell’s Sporting Goods for “their significant level of support.”
Much support also was realized from 08742 Living, Beaver Dam Hardware, Brennan Boat Company and Marina, Brue Family, Bryan & Carrie Brue, Bubbakoo’s Burritos, Butler’s Pharmacy, Christopher Kruse, M. D., Clark’s Landing, Coastal Dental, Coombs Chiropractic and Crystal Point Caterers.

In addition, we benefitted from the assistance by the Naval Sea Cadet Division from Naval Weapon Station Earle and Boy Scout Troop #3 from the Point Pleasant Elks.”
This year’s race committee also included Gary Steen, Frank Scarpone, Mary Borree, Diane Colangelo, John Brue, Sr., Bob Fall, John Curtis and Tom Santoro, Jr.

Forked River Rotary Interact Presidential Citation May and June were exceptionally busy months for the Forked River Rotary and the Lacey Township High School Interact Club starting with the Interact Installation and Pinning Ceremony . Members of LTHS Interact Club, their parents and friends along with Interact advisor Ms. Keena Frechette and members of the Forked River Rotary bid adieu to the student leaders of Interact'16 and celebrated the induction of the new Board of Directors for Interact 2017! Interact is a youth leadership club that teaches students that true leadership is a learned skill that comes from teamwork. Interact teaches students to accept responsibility, show respect for others, and to collaborate as a team to work towards common goals. With contributions of time and service both locally and internationally Interact '16 and the outgoing leadership team has set the bar high for this incoming board with accomplishments that make us very proud!
As an extra special close to a successful year, our LTHS Interact Club received the International Presidential Citation from District 7500 Governor David Forward at our June 7th meeting. One of only 2 Interact Clubs in our district to receive this award, the Lacey Interact Club, under the direction of the advisor Ms. Keena Frechette, supported and raised funds to End Polio by designing and selling Polio Plus bracelets to their fellow students, teachers and Rotarian sponsors. They served in soup kitchens in Atlantic City, provided school supplies for students in Central America, participated in Relay for Life, supplied the exuberance (and endurance) of youth at both the Annual Thanksgiving dinner basket distribution to families in need and the Holiday Elf Program and closed the year with a fun, successful and profitable Hot Wing Competition that brought students, teachers and Rotarians together for one more night of fellowship before the school year end! The Rotary Club of Forked River is proud to sponsor this outstanding group of future leaders!
And for the 1st time in recent history, our LTHS Interact Club received a Presidential Citation from District 7500. The award was presented to the Officers of Interact by Rotary District 7500 Governor Dave Forward! Congratulations Interact – We are so Very Proud of You!! |
Point Pleasant Boro Interact Recieves RI Presidential Citation Point Pleasant Boro High School Panther pride was on display when the Interact Club recently achieved an award from Rotary International. On June Wednesday, June 15th Rotary District 7500 Governor David C. Forward attended a Point Pleasant Boro Rotary Club meeting to announce that the Point Boro High School Interact Club, sponsored by the Point Pleasant Boro Rotary club, was awarded the prestigious International Presidential Citation. The award from Rotary International President K. R. Ravindran acknowledged the Club’s effort to “make a difference in the lives of people all over the world.” District Governor Forward noted that the Point Boro High School Interact Club reached out to help the community and the world by its efforts in the last school year. The Point Boro club was only one of two to earn the citation in District 7500 which encompasses Monmouth, Ocean and Burlington counties. Specifically, the Interact Club held fund raisers such as a Thanksgiving pie sale and a Game Show night to generate $500 to support the Orchid Foundation, a non-profit corporation, dedicated to the continued service and maintenance of the Armando Rosenberg Home and School. The orphanage, located in Sabana Perdida, the largest barrio in Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic, currently houses one hundred and forty children from throughout the Dominican Republic. This was the second consecutive year that Point Boro Interact chose to help the Orchid Foundation. The Club has been involved with the Relay for Life, the Breast Cancer Walk, the Gift of Life program and the Shelter Box initiative to deliver emergency housing in disaster areas. Locally, the Club has helped the Boro elementary schools with their fairs and field days. Interact’s goal and mission for high school students is to carry out hands-on service projects; make international connections; develop leadership skills; and, have fun. The high school club’s adviser is Laura Joyce and this year the 25 member club was led by co-presidents Olivia Toner and Alyssa Joyce. Many of the club’s members have participated in the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards which uses activities and workshops to develop leadership fundamentals and ethics; enhance communication skills and problem solving and conflict management; and, foster appreciation for community and global citizenship. The Point Pleasant Boro Interact Club is independent but is linked to the Point Boro Rotary Club for guidance, support and partnership. Past President Mary Guetzlaff serves as the Club’s liaison to Interact.

Forked River Rocks!Forty-three years of Service to Lacey and beyond was celebrated recently at both the afternoon and Satellite meetings of the Rotary Club of Forked River. With more than $2.5 MILLION Dollars donated to Lacey Township parks, schools, students and its citizens in the last 43 years, the Forked River Rotary continues to focus its energy and resources on building a better community, locally and worldwide, through active Service and Fellowship. President Diamond Frandsen took the opportunity to reflect on our past work and community service locally, nationwide, and internationally. “I know that the best is yet to come with the Forked River Rotarians leading the way” she said. “Thank you to everyone who believes in and lives Service Above Self everyday”
Another successful Forked River Rotary Dictionary Project! The goal of this program is to assist all students in becoming good writers, active readers, creative thinkers, and resourceful learners by providing them with their own personal dictionary. The dictionaries are a gift to each student to use at school and at home for years to come. We are told that educators see third grade as the dividing line between learning to read and reading to learn. With that in mind, the Rotary Club of Forked River, after consultation with our 3rd grade teachers who overwhelmingly support this program, distributed 390 dictionaries to Lacey and Waretown 3rd graders! A special thanks to Tyler Halliday, a student at Lacey High School, for putting the Rotary bookplate on each dictionary and assisting with the distribution.
At the recent “Be a Gift to the World” banquet several members of the Rotary Club of Forked River were recognized as Paul Harris Fellows by President K.R.Ravindran. The Paul Harris Fellow recognition was created in memory of Paul Harris, the founder of Rotary, as a way to show appreciation for contributions to the Foundation’s charitable and educational programs. It identifies the recipients as advocates of the Foundation’s goals of peace and international understanding. Congratulations to the 2015-2016 Forked River members and their designees who were named Fellows at this year’s banquet! Member Recipients’ this year included Forked River Rotary President Diamond Frandsen, Jay Pierson, Elaine Miller , Rob Dellolio, Anthony Caporale , George Broome , Wendy Calder , Erin Eads, John Sauer, Kenneth Flatt , William Recevuto and William Whitson. Designees receiving Paul Harris Awards included Jack & Betty Pierson by Jay Pierson, Ed Kostrowski by Linda Kostrowski, JoAnn Recevuto by William Recevuto, Robert& Nelda Lange by Rob Dellolio, Judy Angona by Tony Angona, and Kyle Flatt by Ken Flatt. Congratulations to all!

Point Pleasant Boro Rotary Club’s donation of $10,000 to the Melanoma Research FoundationPress Release
October 30, 2015
________________________________________________________________________________
With the recent presentation of a check for $10,000 to the Melanoma Research Foundation (MRF) the Point Pleasant Boro Rotary Club achieved its initial goal to donate $50,000 to fight the disease.
Tim Turnham, Executive Director of the Melanoma Research Foundation, traveled from Washington, D. C. to accept the check for $10,000 from the Club on Wednesday, October 28th at Graziano’s Italian Restaurant in Point Boro.
The contribution represents a portion of the proceeds realized from the Club’s 8th Annual Kevin A. Brue Melanoma Awareness Father’s Day 5K and Fun Run held last June.
The MRF, the largest independent, national organization devoted to melanoma, the most serious of skin cancers in the United States, has been guided by Mr. Turnham since January 2009. It was founded in 1996 and regularly achieves the highest rating from Charity Navigator, the nation’s largest and most utilized independent charity evaluator.
Mr. Turnham, Executive Director since 2009, updated the Club on some advances in treatment approved recently by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). He noted that an injection can be used to treat melanoma lesions that cannot be removed completely by surgery and it causes the cancer cells to rupture and die. There is now a first time approved therapy of combining two cancer drugs to unleash the body’s immune system against tumors. The FDA expanded the use of a drug to include therapy for patients with stage III melanoma, to lower the risk that the melanoma will return following surgery.
“This Club made a commitment five years ago to use the race proceeds to help in the battle against melanoma,” remarked Club President Tom Santoro, Jr. “and in each of the last five years the Club was able to donate $10,000 to help the Melanoma Research Foundation. We are proud to be part of this campaign to fight one of the fastest growing cancers in the United States.”
The race is named for Kevin Brue, an avid runner and former Point Boro High School athlete, who passed away after a brave struggle with melanoma. His father John Brue, Sr. and his brother, John Brue, Jr. have served as Rotary Club president.
Mr. Turnham thanked the Club for its commitment to helping defeat melanoma. He stated that “Every step taken in the fight builds on a foundation to provide amazing hope. The life expectancy for a person stricken with melanoma has increased considerably since my first visit to the Point Pleasant Boro Rotary Club five years ago.”
Melanoma can strike men and women of all ages, all races and skin types. With a one in 50 lifetime risk of developing melanoma, nearly 137,000 Americans are likely to have a positive diagnosis this year. Melanoma is the most common form of cancer for young adults 25 to 29-years-old and the second most common cancer in adolescents and young adults 15 to 29-years-old.
The MRF is committed to the support of medical research in finding effective treatments and eventually a cure for melanoma. It educates patients and physicians about prevention, diagnosis and the treatment of melanoma. The MRF is an active advocate for the melanoma community, helping to raise awareness of this disease and the need for a cure. The MRF's website, www.melanoma.org/learn-more/about-us, is the premier source for melanoma information seekers.
The Point Boro Club also aids St. Gregory’s Pantry; sponsors a youth water safety program; continues a dictionary donation for each third grade student at Nellie Bennett and Ocean Road schools; and, awards scholarships to local high school graduates. The Club is a primary partner with the Boro Police Department in the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program in our Point Pleasant’s elementary and middle schools and underwrites a related self-esteem poster contest. Additionally, club works toward Rotary International’s goal to eradicate polio and provide clean water in underdeveloped areas of the world. It also supports Face of America, a program that honors the men and women who were wounded or disabled while in service to our nation.
The 9th annual 5K is slated to be held on Saturday, June 18, 2016. Jim Higgins, Race Director, indicated that “The energetic spirit demonstrated in the past by the borough administration and several of its departments, the school system, the running community, local businesses, our fellow residents and our Club members, points to this race continuing its goal to generate assistance to many charitable and community-based groups.”
Rotary International was founded in 1905. The Point Pleasant Boro Club was established in 1971. There are 34,200 clubs worldwide with 1.2 million members who live the Rotary motto of “Service Above Self.”
More information about the Point Pleasant Boro Rotary Club’s activities can be obtained by visiting www.ptbororotary.com.

Nigeria Sees no wild polio cases for one year
Nigeria One-Year Milestone from Rotary International on Vimeo. On July 24th, the West African nation will have gone one full year with no new cases of wild-polio virus. Today marks one year since Nigeria last reported a polio case caused by wild poliovirus, putting the country on the brink of eradicating the paralyzing disease. The last case was reported on 24 July 2014 in the northern state of Kano. If no cases are reported in the coming weeks, the World Health Organization is expected to remove Nigeria from the list of countries where polio is endemic, leaving just two: Afghanistan and Pakistan. Nigeria is the last polio-endemic country in Africa. The continent is poised to reach its own first full year without any illness from the virus on 11 August. “Every Rotarian in the world should be proud of this achievement,” says Rotary International President K.R. Ravindran. “We made history. We have set Africa on course for a polio-free future. But we have not yet reached our goal of a polio-free world. Raising funds and awareness and advocating with your government is more crucial than ever.” Progress in Nigeria has come from many measures, including strong domestic and international financing, the commitment of thousands of health workers, and new strategies that reached children who had not been immunized earlier because of a lack of security in the northern states. “Rotary’s commitment has been the number one reason for the recent success in Nigeria,” says Dr. Tunji Funsho, chair of Rotary’s Nigeria PolioPlus Committee. “We have infected political leaders with this commitment. The government has demonstrated this with political support and financial and human resources. And that went down the line from the federal level, to the state, to the local governments.” Nigeria has increased its domestic funding for polio eradication almost every year since 2012 and has allocated $80 million for the effort this year. Funsho also applauds religious leaders who championed the vaccination efforts to families in their communities. Despite the historic gains in Nigeria, health experts are cautious about declaring victory. Funsho says the Global Polio Eradication Initative partners must strengthen routine immunization especially in hard-to-reach areas, in addition to boosting sensitive surveillance to prevent resurgence of the disease. If no new cases are reported in the next two years, Nigeria, along with the entire Africa region, will be certified polio-free. “The virus can be introduced from anywhere where it is still endemic, particularly now in Afghanistan and Pakistan, into areas that haven’t had polio in years,” Funsho says. “It is important we keep the immunity level in Nigeria to at least 90 percent.” For instance, Syria experienced a sudden outbreak of the disease when 35 cases were reported in December 2013. None had been reported there since 1999. “Immunizations become imperative for history not to repeat itself in Nigeria,” says Funsho. In June, Rotary announced $19 million in grants for continued polio eradication activities in Africa, including almost $10 million for Nigeria. Since 1985, when Rotary launched PolioPlus, the program that supports the organization’s polio eradication efforts, its worldwide monetary contributions to the cause have exceeded $1.4 billion. “We’ve come a long way and have never been so close to eradicating polio in Nigeria and around the world, but it’s not a time to fully celebrate,” says Funsho. “We have some grueling years ahead of us before WHO can certify Nigeria and Africa polio-free.” Contribute to End Polio Now Rotary News 24-Jul-2015
