Rotary Club of Empowering Our Girls

Polio isn't an issue that we've seen in the US for a long time, but it's still active in places throughout the world.

💧Through the work of Rotary and many others, this preventable disease has almost been eliminated.

If you want to learn more, there is an interview linked in the story.

When Rotary first dreamed of a polio-free world, we knew we couldn't do it alone. Thanks to Rotary members and our partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), over 3 billion children have been immunized since 1998.

Happy New Year!!!

Big Thank you to Janene W Markuske who led us through this last year. We've loved getting to know each other more through the question of the day and learned some really interesting things from our speakers, that ranged on topics from human trafficking, to local libraries and saving trees. Your leadership has been appreciated and we are so thankful to you for stepping up as president this last year.

Christine Garde Denning - Congratulations! The race starts now, we've got a year to support you and the exciting things you want to achieve. We can't wait to get started and see what we can do this next year!

Andrea C. A. Bhagwandeen Thank you for the graphic!

Alia is a nationally recognized subject matter expert on human trafficking, s*x trafficking, and the commercial s*xual exploitation of children. A survivor herself, she is dedicated to ending exploitation and advancing best practices in aftercare for survivors.

Her expertise spans survivor aftercare, juvenile justice, child welfare, policy, investigations, and trauma-informed program development.

Please join us tonight as we learn from Alia with a short Human Trafficking 101 training that provides a clear, introductory look at trafficking, including forms of exploitation, risk factors, and how to better recognize and respond to concerns.

Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make the blood drive such a success! ❤️

Because of the donations collected, more than 70 people will have access to lifesaving treatments and care. That’s an incredible impact created in just a few short hours.

For donors, it only took about 30 minutes, a little generosity, and maybe a few tasty snacks afterward, but the difference made for patients and families is immeasurable.

We loved partnering with the Red Cross, Kiwanis Club of Onslow County and Onslow Community Outreach, to bring this opportunity to the Jacksonville community. Thank you to every donor, volunteer, and supporter who made a difference!

Unfortunately, we didn't get more pictures, but here are a few of our club members that volunteered their time!

Join us at 6pm EDT today for a presentation from Donna Disbrow with !

Lasagna Love is a global nonprofit movement powered by volunteers who provide homemade lasagna to neighbors in need with no questions asked, no qualifications required, and no judgment attached. They strive to normalize asking for help. What began as one Facebook post during the pandemic has grown into a grassroots movement serving families across the United States, Canada, Australia, and the U.K.

Quite simply, Lasagna Love reminds families they are seen, supported, and not alone. In the words of one of their volunteers, “be kinder than necessary because everyone is fighting some kind of battle.”

We can't wait to hear about this organization and to have you join us! Guests and visiting Rotarians are welcome.
