Our club held its first Independence Day Pancake Breakfast on July 3. It was a tasty success!
October 24, is World Polio Day!
World Polio Day is held on October 24 in celebration of the birth of Jonas Salk, the American researcher who developed the first polio vaccine in 1955. In 1961 Albert Sabin developed the first monovalent oral polio vaccine followed by the trivalent oral polio vaccine in 1963.
When Rotary and its partners launched the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1988, there were 350,000 cases of polio in 125 countries every year. We’ve made great progress against the disease since then. Today, polio cases have been reduced by 99.9 percent, and just two countries continue to report cases of wild poliovirus: Afghanistan and Pakistan. Visit www.endpolio.org to learn more.

Chartered in 1946, the Rotary Club of Fallbrook has continuously brought together local people of action; dedicated to Service Above Self here in our Friendly Village as well as internationally.
Our weekly meetings are held Thursdays at noon, alternating between Grand Tradition and virtual meetings on zoom. Please see our calendar for details on upcoming meetings and email fallbrookrotary@gmail.com if you would like to receive the link to a meeting.
Our theme for this year is Serve to Change Lives. Rotary International President Shekhar Mehta shared, “To live for others, to care for others, to serve others and change their lives is the best way to live our own lives. Just as Albert Einstein said, “Only a life lived for others is a live worthwhile.” Come join us and see how you can fellowship with others in our community and serve, to not only improve the lives of others but to also enhance your own life. For more information, contact us via email at fallbrookrotary@gmail.com or check us out on Facebook (Rotary Club of Fallbrook).
On Sept. 16 our club joined forces with Save our Forest to assist in rebuilding the tree wells on eleven trees in the parking lot between the Library and the Fallbrook Art Center. Save our Forest is a Fallbrook Land Conservancy committee chaired by Jackie Heyneman.

Many thanks to our members who volunteered their time to keep Fallbrook a beautiful place to live, work, and play!
The Rotary Club of Fallbrook volunteered to support the Salvation Army during the holiday season.
