PROGRAM: Since March 3rd, skilled nursing centers and assisted living residences have been in the throes of battling COVID-19 and protecting the people they serve—our nation’s oldest, and most vulnerable, citizens. The deadly virus is particularly assaultive against older adults and those who live in congregate living arrangements are most at risk. The presentation will provide the audience with an inside view of the race to keep older adults safe from the impact of COVID-19. Angela Dohrman is the Senior Vice President, Chief Operating Officer for SpiriTrust Lutheran. She leads the organization’s COVID-19 Command Team and directs the organization’s efforts related to the pandemic response.

District 7390 Polio Plus Society -
The African region has been certified free of the wild poliovirus. This has been a decades long effort across 47 countries of the African region and would not have been possible without the efforts of Rotarians around the world and our partners to create a polio free world. Rotary is still committed to raising $50 million a year for this effort. As such, we are launching the District 7390 Polio Plus Society. To become a member of the District 7390 Polio Plus Society you are asked to make an annual donation of $100 or more to The Rotary Foundation’s Polio Plus Fund until the last two countries, Afghanistan and Pakistan, are certified free of the wild polio virus. Donations may be made online at www.rotary.org/donate (select the Polio Plus Fund) or through the Rotary Club office. If you make it online, it can be set it up as a recurring donation.
