Our very own Greater Bend Rotary member, Cort Vaughn, polio survivor and former PolioPlus Zone 26/27 Coordinator was interviewed on KATU News. Worth putting this in the eNews I think! Cort is also well known for his fabulous fundraiser called “Pints for Polio” in Bend which has netted the PolioPlus fund about $10,000 annually for the last several years.
KATU (ABC) in Portland interviewed Cort last week regarding the parallels between Polio and COVID-19. Here is the link: https://katu.com/news/coronavirus/polio-survivor-shares-sim ilarities-to-coronavirus. Way to go Cort! A great speaker potential for any club!!!

District Governor Cindi O’Neil has heard some very cool ideas recently from Clubs trying new ways to make membership during the COVID-19 pandemic fun, memorable, and all the while serving their communities too! Rotarian Ron Chandler of the Rotary Club of Lincoln City suggests the “Rotary Cache Mob.”
District 5110 is proud to announce a Group Cultural Exchange (formerly Group Study Exchange) with District 9400 in Africa. A team of 3-4 team members plus a team leader will travel to District 9400 in April 2021, just in time to celebrate their district’s 100th Anniversary. Both teams will return to Oregon together and attend our District Conference. Each team will spend 3-4 weeks abroad and each team member’s cost is $700 to help defray training and materials expenses. The team will meet approximately five (5) times prior to departure. The program focuses on two main elements.
