Rotarians hard at work

Pemberton Food Bank

Just prior to Christmas, the Rotary Club of Pemberton met to share some cheer at the Town Square Restaurant. A small but mighty group, we were honoured to have Loralee Seitz (Director of the Pemberton Food Bank) as our guest.

The Club has a history of supporting the Pemberton Food Bank & continued to show this commitment by presenting a cheque for $1000 to her! Seen from left to right; Richard Megeney, Phill Read, Loralee Seitz & Mark Leverton.

Thanks to Mayor Mike & the staff at Town Square, our fellow Rotarians & their partners for attending!

The Club extends their well wishes to you & yours for a healthy, happy 2022!

Sea to Sky Community Hospice

Did you know that there are currently no palliative care beds available in the Sea to Sky Corridor for residents of Mt. Currie, Pemberton, Whistler and Squamish. The Squamish Hospice Society paid a visit to all four Rotary Clubs in the Sea to Sky Corridor to tell us about this current situation and share their dream to create a hospice in our area.

The Rotary Club of Pemberton has committed funds to this important initiative and will be presenting a cheque to the Hospice Society in the near future. Stay tuned....

World Polio Day

WORLD POLIO DAY IS OCTOBER 24

Smallpox is the only human disease ever eradicated. Let’s make polio the second.

What is Polio?

Polio is a paralyzing and potentially fatal disease that still threatens children in some parts of the world. The poliovirus invades the nervous system and can cause total paralysis in a matter of hours. It can strike at any age but mainly affects children under five. Polio is incurable, but completely vaccine-preventable.

How close are we to ending Polio?

Today, there are only three countries that have never stopped transmission of the wild poliovirus: Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan. These polio cases are the most difficult to prevent, due to factors including geographical isolation, poor public infrastructure, armed conflict and cultural barriers. Until polio is eradicated, all countries remain at risk of outbreaks.

Why is Rotary Pemberton involved?

Polio is a vaccine-preventable disease. No child has to suffer from Polio. It is entirely vaccine-preventable. Rotary Pemberton is part of the global Rotary initiative to end polio. You can help too.

What can I do?

Thanks to a 2-to-1 match from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, every donation made to Rotary to end polio will be tripled. Donate today by visiting: endpolio.org/donate
