Dear Rotarians,
I have challenged our club to raise $2,000 by World Polio Day - Oct 24, 2022.
I confess that as a new Rotarian, I didn’t feel connected to polio. It seemed like a battle near-won and a disease I only read about as a kid.
Regrettably, this week, the US reported its first case of polio in over 10 years I received an update from RI on this front today. The patient presented with weakness and paralysis. We pray for his recovery.
Coron Polley and I will be putting our heads together in the coming weeks to brainstorm a fundraising strategy for the $2,000 polio goal. Each one of our dollars raised will be matched by two dollars from the Gates foundation - so effectively we are raising $6,000!
Thank you for reflecting on this upcoming opportunity.
Yours in Rotary,
Guy Evans
ps. I created a video of Ed Cadman for Wenatchee Downtown Rotary in the early 2000’s. I remember interviewing Dr. Cadman at his home and learning about his “You are the Key” year as Rotary International President. His role in starting the Polio Plus campaign featured prominently in his accomplishments that year. The video currently resides on VHS, so as soon as I get it digitized, I’ll share it with the club!

Elegance personified! This sun shade was installed for a local resident in Chelan. The owner of this house is seen here with their new sun shade which was installed by Community Service team members Don Christenson and Ty Witt. As always, the rules required that the recipient pay for the materials. This they did. They also made a donation to the Lake Chelan Rotary Community and International Fund. This money will be held in the Community Service Class for future projects where the recipient(s) is unable to pay for materials. | |
Iltumaro Progress & Local Impact | |
|
The objective of the project to to benefit the students that attend Iltumaro Primary but there are other benefits. Wherever possible local labor and materials are used. This means that much needed salaries enter the local economy.
The receipt for $750 from Kenya Commercial Bank is payment for sand that was provided locally. There were a number of truck loads of sand needed. Each truck was loaded one shovel full at a time by the local people, many of whom were women. The contractor paid for the sand in addition to paying the people who did the work.

911 Glass Rescue Donates to Rotary Scholarship Fund | |
A huge thank you goes out to 911 Glass Rescue for the $2,500 donation made to Lake Chelan Rotary's Community & International Fund to benefit local scholarships. Thanks to community donations made in conjunction with glass drop off for crushing and repurposing, as 911 Glass Rescue approaches their one-year anniversary they were able to further help our community in this way. | | |

911 Glass Rescue will be holding Paulie the Pulverizer’s one-year birthday party on July 23rd from 9:00 to noon at the Recycle Center! (Paulie is a big girl, so you will have to come to her to offer your best wishes.) It is hard to believe that Paulie has been faithfully crushing the Valley’s glass for a whole year. She has now helped us to rescue a whopping 250,000 pounds of glass from the landfill; glass that has a new life as sand and aggregate being utilized in a myriad of local applications. It seems the uses for our glass sand and aggregate are as unlimited as the human imagination! Paulie’s crushed glass graces trails and walkways throughout our community, does double-duty in gardens as a high-quality mulch, weed barrier and pest repellant, has grown huge, beautiful tomatoes in hydroponic applications, provided traction in Winter when local vendors ran out of ice melt, and much, much more. Come by the party to see photographic examples of some of the beautiful applications of Paulie’s progeny throughout our community. And purchase some to use in your own creative application.
Paulie could not have done it alone, though. Thanks to the many sponsors, volunteers, and supporters who have wholeheartedly embraced 911 Glass Rescue, we have exceeded our year one goal of 100 tons and made this project a model for what one determined community can do to save our environment. Without the financial support of local wineries and other businesses, as well as our partnership with the City of Chelan and a generous grant from the County of Chelan, Paulie would be serving some other community today, and local glass would still be going to the dump. And without our valued volunteers, Paulie would not have been fed all that glass to munch. This has truly been a community project, and it continues to grow, with record volumes and more and more interest from within and without our Valley.
Thanks to Paulie and all our supporters, 911 Glass Rescue has set the standard for community glass recycling. We regularly receive inquiries from around the Country, as other municipalities look for solutions to the problem of glass recycling. Here in the Chelan Valley, we have solved it!
Happy Birthday, Paulie! You’re CRUSHING IT!

The logo for the 2022 theme was designed by Riki Salam, an Australian artist and graphic designer specializing in contemporary Indigenous art, design, and communications. He also created the 2023 Rotary International Convention logo which will be held in Melbourne, Australia, thus connecting the two by a shared visual language.
There is, of course, a deeper meaning behind each element of the design. The circle in aboriginal culture for instance, signifies our connections to one another. The dots around it represent people and there are seven because of Rotary´s areas of focus.
The circle and the dots together become a navigation star – our guiding light. The solid line underneath is what is referred to as a digging stick and it is used when doing hard work. And since Rotary members are people of action – it represents a tool for getting things done.
