22 January 2021 | A roundup of Rotary news |
|
| Help on wheels | During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in Uganda, strict travel restrictions were making it difficult for some pregnant women to get to a hospital to deliver their babies. After reports that some mothers and their babies had died, the Rotary Club of Rubaga, Kampala created a free transportation program, retrofitting a member’s vehicle into a makeshift ambulance. The club provided more than 75 rides before travel restrictions were eased. They continue to support mothers and children through health events that provide free dental, optical, and reproductive health care. It's just one example of how clubs around the world have been stepping up to help stop the spread of COVID-19. | |

| Share your COVID-19 related efforts | Rotary clubs are encouraged to use the collective knowledge of vaccine safety and efficacy we have gained through our polio eradication experience to support vaccination education and outreach in your communities. Clubs are also encouraged to engage with our current polio eradication partners WHO and UNICEF at the country level where applicable to offer Rotary’s support to COVID-19 response activities, and to partner at the local level with health departments and other agencies. Let the Rotary world know what your club or district is doing to support COVID-19 vaccine introduction efforts by sharing them on Rotary Showcase. | |

Why Rotary branding matters | It might seem like a small thing, but a logo that isn’t used properly can create confusion and mistrust. When clubs use Rotary’s logos consistently and properly, we maintain a global Rotary brand that members, donors, and the public can trust. In the first of a series of Rotary Voices blog posts on this topic, Rotary’s brand specialist Liz Thiam explains why clubs should use the Rotary logo correctly in their communities. | |
