This week at Parole Rotary, we welcomed guest speaker Billy Louis, who will share insights on End Polio Now, Rotary International’s historic effort to eradicate polio worldwide!Rotary has been a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative since 1988, and the results speak for themselves:Polio cases have dropped by 99.9% globally.

More than 3 billion children have been protected in 122 countries
An estimated 20 million cases of paralysis have been prevented
Rotary has contributed more than US$2.9 billion (plus countless volunteer hours) to the fight

Today, wild poliovirus remains endemic in only two countries, Afghanistan and Pakistan. We’re closer than ever to making polio history’s second eradicated disease!Join us as Billy Louis inspires us to keep pushing until every child is safe from this preventable disease. Together, we can !

At The Rotary Club of Parole (Annapolis), we take seriously... locally and globally.
But we also know how to party! This past weekend we held our annual picnic, and let’s just say the only thing hotter than the sun was the fellowship (and maybe the hot dogs). Laughter was served by the plateful, smiles were unlimited, and the only “business” we conducted was the serious work of enjoying one another’s company. Because even the most dedicated difference-makers need a little sunshine, good food, and great friends to recharge those service batteries! Here’s to serving hard… and celebrating even harder.

Our club member Steve Hays recently gave a presentation about Connect Rwanda, his organization's nonprofit organization. Connect Rwanda is an Annapolis-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2017 that equips Rwandan classrooms with technology, supports teacher collaboration and professional growth, and builds cultural ties through programs such as device donations, U.S.-Rwanda educator exchanges, and pen-pal connections, thereby strengthening education and fostering goodwill between the two countries. The Rotary Club of Parole (Annapolis) is linked to the organization through member Steve Hayes, who has also worked with Medicine With a Mission to deliver a Project C.U.R.E. medical-supply kit to a hospital in Rwanda as part of joint global-health efforts by Parole Rotary and District 7620.
