Rotary Club of Dupont Circle, Rewind by Decades, 1219 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Washington D.C., DC (2021)

10/26/2021

Tonight, Dr. John Sever will speak (virtually) to the Rotary Club of Dupont Circle about PolioPlus and the current status of the polio eradication program. Link to the meeting: https://zoom.us/j/93436846999

As you know, this coincides with Rotary's focus on polio eradication for the month of October. Many of you also know what a treasure we have in Dr. Sever as an expert in this field, as well as a long time Rotarian who has served many roles in our District. His biography below will speak for itself.

Given his busy schedule, we felt lucky to schedule him as our guest speaker tonight, and wanted to extend the invitation to other clubs to join us as well.

No Meeting on October 19th
Members are encouraged to give blood in recognition of Service Week.
In addition, we invite all members to attend the Polio Luncheon on October 23rd. The first 10 club members to register and contribute $45 to attend the luncheon will be reimbursed by the club.

One small thing that we can all do to help someone in need this week is to donate blood!

Will you commit like Jessica did to donating before the end of the month?

3. Only three countries remain endemic.
4. We’ve reduced cases by 99.9% since 1988.

Join us on TODAY, September 14th, at 7 pm to learn more about City Dogs & City Kitties - a wonderful 501(c)(3) organization that rescues adoptable cats and dogs in overcrowded and high-kill shelters, where resources are severely limited. City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue has saved over 8700 dogs and cats since they were founded in 2011. The organization is made up of a network of volunteers (most with full-time jobs) who foster cats and dogs in their homes. By finding these animals permanent and loving homes in the DC metropolitan area, we can enrich lives of humans and their pets.

Join us this Tuesday at 7pm on Zoom to hear from speaker Bryan Miles. Bryan is currently the Associate Director of the Bill Reid Centre (BRC) for Northwest Coast Studies at SFU where he has worked for the past 10 years. He is also working on an interdisciplinary PhD that explores the changing relationship between galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAMs) and Indigenous peoples. His research interests include the anthropology and ethnography on the Northwest Coast, Indigenous cultural heritage in digital contexts, and visual and material culture studies. His doctoral research investigates the cultural lives of heritage objects, and the use of new and emerging media technologies to record, document, safeguard, and create access to Northwest Coast visual cultural heritage.

Bryan completed his Master’s degree in sociocultural anthropology at Carleton University in 2008, and his M.A. thesis project examined the disjuncture between ecotourism principles and practice in the Mesoamerican country of Belize.

In his time with the Bill Reid Centre at SFU, Bryan has been involved in numerous Northwest Coast art and cultural heritage projects that draw on the visual histories of the coast and the work of historic and contemporary Northwest Coast artists. #DupontRotary #Rotary7620 #RotaryInternational #ServiceAboveSelf #ServeToChangeLives
