Presidents Report from Natalie Jupe

Gday everyone,

Firstly, an apology that I could not stick around for last weeks meeting, however it is not every day you get a lastminute invite to an event hosted by the US embassy (PS Andrew and I had a lovely night). By all accounts the cranefolding went well and we have got 42 cranes to take to the district conference. A huge thank you goes to BethanyFreeman-Chandler for coming along and assisting us in this task your help was very much appreciated.

We have a big night planned for our Polio Day Dinnerdont forget it is at Punjabt Hut (and not at the pub). Beprepared for some interesting facts about Polio, the chance to get your own purple pinkie, as well as some lucky doorprizes.

I had a great weekend at the Australian Rotaract Conference in Canberra. Approx 130 Rotaractors (and a fewRotarians like myself) had a fun filled few days. Friday night involved Presidents drinks and a Halloween party.Saturday was a full day of speakers and activities followed by an awesome dinner at The Abbey (however I had to gohome for a nana nap in the afternoon). Sunday was finalized with a photo shoot on the lawns in front of ParliamentHouse promoting the End Polio Now campaign see photo on next page.

Doug reliably informs me that the BBQ for Mental Health has been rescheduled to Friday 9 November. If you are ableto volunteer your time on this day, please let Doug know via email - [email protected] or call him on0402 431 021.

Christmas is nearly here which means it is nearly Christmas party season YAY!!! Please note the change of date forour Christmas party lunch. It is now going to be on Sunday 9

thDecember at 12:30 so be sure to pop it in your

calendar. Joan will be sending out the invites very soon, so please keep your eye out for it. There is also a facebookevent page in place.

Registrations for the District Conference have now closed but I am pleased to say that a good number of our memberswill be attending. It should be a great weekend, with great speakers and lots of fun. Expect a full report on theconference in next weeks edition.

Lastly we will need some volunteers for our information stall at the Sunset Markets on Friday 2 November if you areable to spare an hour or two of your time please let me know. The markets are always good fun, plus it gives us achance to let the community know about our fantastic little club.

Rotary is Rot-a-awesome

FEDERAL FUNDING URGENTLY NEEDED

FOR POLIO SURVIVORS

Campaign created by Polio Australia

You dont have to be, or even know, a polio survivor to understand and support the need for

urgent Federal Funding to help Australias forgotten and largely invisible post-polio community.

It only takes a second to click on these links, which is all that is required to inspire hundreds morepeople like you to sign the Petition and join the Were Still Here! Campaign.

There are hundreds of thousands of Australians who are in urgent need of support and specialisedservices to diagnose, treat and manage the complex and debilitation symptoms of the Late Effectsof Polio services that require Federal Funding. Surprisingly, there is currently no funding at all forAustralias polio survivors, and this has to change!

Why is this important?

Before polio was eradicated in Australia after the Salk (1956) and Sabin (1966) vaccinationsbecame available, Australian hospitals were inundated with polio cases and children in calliperswere a common sight in schools. Those children grew up and today polio survivors represent thelargest single physical disability group in the country.

Little do people know that those who contracted polio between the 1920's and 1960's are nowexperiencing the often debilitating Late Effects of Polio (LEOP) or Post Polio Syndrome (PPS) asthey head into their senior years. Together with migrants, including younger immigrants from morerecently eradicated or still polio endemic countries, these Australians will require specificLEOP/PPS services for at least the next 20-30 years. Currently there is no federal funding for post

polio services in Australia. Polio Australia also requires funding to continue providing support,information and education to polio survivors, health professionals and the community.

Research has shown that it can take up to six years for a polio survivor to be diagnosed correctlydue to a lack of knowledge within the health sector. In the meantime, polio survivors will suffer withfatigue, muscle and joint pain, respiratory problems, and a range of other symptoms with little orno support to understand or manage their condition.
