Hello Rotarians! 
 
As we are in the fourth quarter of 2022, and in the beautiful fall season, like the leaves, lots of changes are happening. Please make sure you are reading and keeping up with the communications and take time to read the cogwheel. We are also excited as we will be updating our website soon. Looking forward to seeing you all at our Thursday meeting. 
 
Let's have some fun!
Robin

Congratulations to Kathy Elbert for being awarded the 2021 Hank Sampson Award for Service Above Self!
 
The award is given annually to an active Stillwater Rotary Club member who provides exceptional “service above self”. The award is named in memory of Henry “Hank” Sampson who was a long-time community servant to the Stillwater area. He was a Stillwater Rotarian for 44 years.
 
Kathy has served as President, a board member, chaired committees, is a multiple Paul Harris Fellow and is a sustaining member of the EREY program. She is creative, dedicated, kind, approachable, funny, and has a “can do” attitude! Congrats, Kathy!
Our Current Global Grant - Supporting Maternal and Child Health
          
 
We have embarked on, and been approved for, a Global Grant to support Stillwater native, Ted Hooley and his non-profit organization, Senitizo, on a project supporting Maternal and Child Health and Mortality in the Central African Republic.
 
This project will support the purchase of needed health equipment necessary to begin providing primary health care at the targeted health facility, including:
  •          Hospital beds for the maternal and pediatric wards of the health center
  •          Two delivery beds where women can safely and comfortably deliver under the supervision of skilled medical professionals
  •          Neonatal resuscitation table which provides a place for life-saving resuscitation for newborns in distress and allows medical               staff to control and monitor body temperature in the hours after birth
  •          Laboratory diagnostic equipment needed to identify parasitic and other infections
  •          Refrigerator/freezer and cold boxes for the safe transport and storage of child vaccinations
  •          Autoclave to sanitize all reusable medical equipment at the clinic
  •          Medical waste incinerator to ensure infectious materials are disposed of properly of on site
  •          Midwifery tools necessary to aid in the safe delivery of a baby at the facility, including forceps, scissors, stainless steel basins,             vacuum extractor
  •          Placenta pit to dispose of hazardous biological waste
In addition to medical equipment to be installed in the health center, this project will fund an ambulance for the transport of women in labor to the health facility and referral of obstetric emergencies to the closest hospital.

Stillwater Rotary Supports Local Restaurants
The club's annual Taste of the Valley fundraising event was cancelled this year due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.  For more than 10 years, local restaurants have been donating their time and delicious menu offerings to the event.  This year, the Board of Directors made the decision to "spotlight" the restaurants who have supported Stillwater Rotary over the years.  The club purchased $3,000 worth of gift cards from 15 local restaurants.
 
"The Taste of the Valley event is always a highlight of our Rotary year.  While we were disappointed to not host it this year, we are excited to support the restaurants that have supported us over the years.  Usually they are helping us raise money for local nonprofits, but this year we wanted to help them!"  - Club President, Patty Radoc
