When Rotary began its efforts to eradicate polio in the late 1980s, the disease paralysed 350,000 children a year. So much has been achieved over the past 35 years, particularly since The Gates Foundation came on board to partner with Rotary and ramp up the campaign. In 2023 wild polio paralysed 12 children worldwide. That’s still 12 too many, but we haven’t finished yet!
Bill Gates is clearly optimistic about the chances for success. Hear what he has to say:
Happy New Year 2024 Let’s celebrate the 2024 .. New Year with open arms and a warm welcome. The year 2024 awaits us to bring many dreams into our lives. The New Year is more than a change in the calendar, it urges us to sculpt the new beginnings and cultivate a more positive approach towards life.
We would like to wish everyone a safe and happy Merry Christmas for 2023.
Christmas is a time to reconnect with family and friends while we reflect on our achievements and rebuild our energy for 2024.

A Glimpse at the Lives of Vulnerable People presented by Rosey Olbrycht
Love exploring places in your caravan and motor home? You might like to read about this Rotary fellowship Group who are visiting City of Adelaide at the moment.
Recreational Vehicle Fellowship of Rotarians (RVFR) is one of the many fellowships within Rotary in which the members have a common bond. In this case a love for camping with caravans and motor homes in various locations in Australia.
They come together several times a year, which they label musters and explore places of interest of this great country, these musters are organised with activities in pre-determined locations.
Presently they are here in Adelaide, yes approximately 50 people in 25 Caravans and motor homes. These members are from all over Australia and the world.
In May of 2023 Rotary International is holding their International Conference in Melbourne and so the Recreational Vehicles of Rotarians have organised this “Muster”. It’s a 3 week “muster” starting from Melbourne through Adelaide, Mildura, Echuca and back to Melbourne in time for the conference.
This morning 88.7 Adelaide’s Coast FM will be interviewing some of the members of this great ‘muster’ at 9.15am, we encourage you to tune in and listen to their story and adventures. (Thank you to 88.7 Adelaide’s Coast FM for the opportunity).
These visitors have been out exploring Victor Harbor, South Australia, Glenelg, South Australia the shipping history at Port Adelaide and also enjoying food and wine at the gorgeous Adelaide Hills Hahndorf, South Australia and will also be doing a tour of Adelaide Oval today.
If looking for a more detailed description it can be viewed on their web site http://www.rvfr-aus.org.au and/or Facebook
We also encourage you if you see the team traveling tomorrow to give them a wave as they will depart Adelaide for their next stage of their muster to Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
