Welcome to our new Rotary International President, our friend Stephanie Urchick
The Presidential theme for this year is
"The Magic of Rotary"
THE MONTHLY FOCUS FOR JULY IS...
Why maternal and child health?
According to a 2020 report by the World Health Organization, an estimated 5.2 million children under age five died in 2019 — mostly from preventable and treatable causes. And in 2017, about 214 million women had an unmet need for modern contraception.
Deaths from complications during and after pregnancies can be prevented with access to prenatal care in pregnancy, skilled care during childbirth, and care and support in the weeks afterward. Access to contraception offers benefits including more opportunity for women's education and economic development. Other benefits may include preventing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
What Rotary is doing
Rotary members can get involved in this area of focus by designing projects that:
Strengthen community-level prenatal care and childbirth services, including promoting good nutrition, preventing STDs, and training front-line health care workers
Promote local and culturally sensitive support of reproductive health programs, including family planning services
Improve the health of children under age five, including immunization and treatment (measles, malaria, pneumonia, AIDS, and diarrheal diseases are the leading causes of death in young children)
Dues Invoices have been sent out along with an explanation on the increase. Please pay your dues promptly! The club receives invoices from RI and the District in early July and need to be ready to submit on your behalf! Thank you so very much!
REMEMBER TO PAY YOUR DUES!!!!
