The Biggest Loser comes to Moorpark


Opps...Did we say Biggest Loser? We meant to say, The Big Loser. Moorpark Morning Rotary created this Contest to promote health & fitness in Moorpark and to help raise awareness for Rotary. Money raised for this Contest goes towards Rotary International’s Polio Eradication efforts!

Why Polio?

We study history so that we don't repeat our mistakes. That's why Moorpark, California (Ventura County) small town America, is joining the international battle to fight polio.

Although the last confirmed report of a U.S. polio case was five years ago (details), many baby boomers can remember the epidemic before a vaccine was developed.

"Polio was one of the most dreaded childhood diseases of the 20th Century in the United States. There were usually about 13,000 to 20,000 cases of paralytic polio reported each year in the US before the introduction of Salk inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) in 1955," according to the CDC.

"Polio peaked in 1952 when there were more than 21,000 reported cases. (excerpt and more information from http://americanhistory.si.edu/polio/index.htm)

That's why 33,000 rotary clubs and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundations are pushing to eradicate polio worldwide.

"The world would not be where it is without Rotary, and it won't get where it needs to go without Rotary," Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation said. "Rotarians, government leaders, and health professionals have made a phenomenal commitment to get us to a point at which polio afflicts only a small number of the world's children. However, complete elimination of the polio virus is difficult and will continue to be difficult for a number of years. Rotary in particular has inspired my own personal commitment to get deeply involved in achieving eradication."

Where is Polio & Why Rotary is trying to eradicate this virus?

The incidence of polio has fallen by more than 99 percent worldwide since the GPEI began in 1988. Indigenous transmission of the wild poliovirus persists only in relatively small areas of Afghanistan, India, Nigeria, and Pakistan. Until eradication is complete, however, all countries remain at risk for the importation of the virus, as demonstrated by the polio outbreaks in Tajikistan and the Republic of the Congo this year.

By the time the world is certified polio-free, Rotary’s contributions to the global eradication effort will exceed $1.2 billion. In addition, Rotary has mobilized hundreds of thousands of volunteers in support of immunization activities.

Rotary also plays a leading role in soliciting financial support from national governments, which has amounted to more than $8.2 billion since 1988.

"This entire initiative began because of the vision of Rotary International," says Margaret Chan, director-general of the World Health Organization, who calls the more than 1.2 million Rotarians "tireless partners in the polio eradication effort."

Says Robert S. Scott, chair of Rotary’s International PolioPlus Committee: "The positive results of this study will, I am certain, increase even further the enthusiasm of Rotarians to fulfill their promise to the children of the world to eradicate polio."

History of Veteran's Day


The History of Veteran's Day as explained by Military.com


Veterans Day gives Americans the opportunity to celebrate the bravery and sacrifice of all U.S. veterans. However, most Americans confuse this holiday with Memorial Day, reports the Department of Veterans Affairs.

What's more, some Americans don't know why we commemorate our Veterans on Nov.11. It's imperative that all Americans know the history of Veterans Day so that we can honor our former service members properly.
A Brief History of Veterans Day

Veterans Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, was originally set as a U.S. legal holiday to honor the end of World War I, which officially took place on November 11, 1918. In legislation that was passed in 1938, November 11 was "dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as 'Armistice Day.'" As such, this new legal holiday honored World War I veterans.

In 1954, after having been through both World War II and the Korean War, the 83rd U.S. Congress -- at the urging of the veterans service organizations -- amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word "Armistice" and inserting the word "Veterans." With the approval of this legislation on June 1, 1954, Nov. 11 became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.

In 1968, the Uniforms Holiday Bill ensured three-day weekends for federal employees by celebrating four national holidays on Mondays: Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Columbus Day. Under this bill, Veterans Day was moved to the last Monday of October. Many states did not agree with this decision and continued to celebrate the holiday on its original date. The first Veterans Day under the new law was observed with much confusion on Oct. 25, 1971.

Finally on September 20, 1975, President Gerald R. Ford signed a law which returned the annual observance of Veterans Day to its original date of Nov. 11, beginning in 1978. Since then, the Veterans Day holiday has been observed on Nov. 11.
Celebrating the Veterans Day Holiday

If the Nov. 11 holiday falls on a non-workday — Saturday or Sunday — the holiday is observed by the federal government on Monday (if the holiday falls on Sunday) or Friday (if the holiday falls on Saturday). Federal government closings are established by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management — a complete schedule can be found here. State and local government closings are determined locally, and non- government businesses can close or remain open as they see fit, regardless of federal, state or local government operation determinations.

United States Senate Resolution 143, which was passed on Aug. 4, 2001, designated the week of Nov.11 through Nov. 17, 2001, as "National Veterans Awareness Week." The resolution calls for educational efforts directed at elementary and secondary school students concerning the contributions and sacrifices of veterans.
The difference between Veterans Day and Memorial Day

Memorial Day honors servicemembers who died in service to their country or as a result of injuries incurred during battle. Deceased veterans are also remembered on Veterans Day but the day is set aside to thank and honor living veterans who served honorably in the military - in wartime or peacetime.
President Eisenhower’s letter to Harvey V. Higley, Administrator of Veterans' Affairs, designating him Chairman, Veterans Day National Committee

The White House Office
October 8, 1954

Dear Mr. Higley:

I have today signed a proclamation calling upon all of our citizens to observe Thursday, November 11, 1954 as Veterans Day. It is my earnest hope that all veterans, their organizations, and the entire citizenry will join hands to insure proper and widespread observance of this day. With the thought that it will be most helpful to coordinate the planning, I am suggesting the formation of a Veterans Day National Committee. In view of your great personal interest as well as your official responsibilities, I have designated you to serve as Chairman. You may include in the Committee membership such other persons as you desire to select and I am requesting the heads of all departments and agencies of the Executive branch to assist the Committee in its work in every way possible.

I have every confidence that our Nation will respond wholeheartedly in the appropriate observance of Veterans Day, 1954.

Sincerely,

DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER

For The Troops


For The Troops' mission is to send care packages to our front line troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. These packages contain such things as snack items, DVDs, CDs, batteries, personal care items and magazines, etc. For more information, visit www.ForTheTroops.org

13 Nights of Terror


13 Nights of Terror is the newest Halloween Haunt in Ventura County and the San Fernando Valley.

The event is part of Golftoberfest, a 3-week-long fundraiser to benefit the 501(c)3 nonprofit Gull Wings Children’s Museum.

Gull Wings has been known in the community for its innovative educational programs and environment for children from 0-12. As Gull Wings approaches it’s 25th Anniversary in 2012, we are beginning to “branch out” a little as we grow and change to meet the needs of the region for the 21st Century.

Halloween has traditionally been a time in America for families to have fun together. More and more adults are getting into the spirit of the holiday and enjoying a renaissance of fun, creativity, and imagination surrounding the holiday. As we looked for opportunities to provide a fundraiser that also fit our mission, we found ourselves developing a regional Halloween event with activities and experiences suitable for the entire family: a golf tournament, an “old time” Halloween Family Festival, a Family Safety Fair, and a honest-to-goodness scary Haunted House.

This Haunted House, we can safely say, is not suited for children under 13. In fact, we would not recommend it. Please consider this a fair warning: Children under 13 are not permitted without a paid adult accompanying them throughout the attraction.

However, we do recognize that families with younger children may also want to enjoy the Haunted House. On Saturday, October 30th from Noon to 5pm, the 13 Nights of Terror will be converted into a “lights on” haunted house suitable for families with younger children. (Parents should still use discretion and accompany their children.) During the evening hours, however, this is a scary place to be. Just like all good haunted houses.

We do want to point out that, while this is a very scary house; it is not an offensive one and is suitable for those wishing to experience a real fright without having their values challenged in the process.

You see, it all started so many years ago when a old farm house deep in the hills of Simi Valley was rumored to be taken over by some odd, unknown, sinister force and claimed everything in this once peaceful home. To this day, no one has made it out to tell the tale of what really happened back in the day…. You be the judge and try and find out what actually goes on inside…. See if you and your friends can make it out of the most talked about feared legends, The Lost Canyons Sinister Shack!

Wine-tasting and food pairing event at prominent hilltop location will raise funds for Free Clinic of Simi Valley on Oct. 14

SIMI VALLEY, Calif. – A special event to experience fine wines and the remarkably restored, The Vineyards, in Simi Valley, while simultaneously raising needed funds for the Free Clinic of Simi Valley, is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 14.

The “Taste of Vine” celebration of sunset views, wine, gourmet food pairings and jewelry and art vendors is scheduled for 7 to 10 p.m. Oct. 14 at The Vineyards, 2525 Stow Street in east Simi Valley.

“This is an opportunity to see a wonderful, recently renovated venue at a premiere hilltop location in Simi Valley, and taste some of the nation’s finest wines with excellent food pairings in a sunset setting,” said Samantha Evans of TruLuxe Event Planning. “And we will be raising much-needed funds for the Free Clinic of Simi Valley in the process.”

A portion of proceeds from the event will be donated to the nonprofit Free Clinic, which provides medical care, counseling, dental and legal assistance to Simi Valley individuals and families, regardless of their ability to pay.

Taste of Vine will feature wine tastings with professional food pairings; meal demonstrations; jewelry vendors; and art presentations. Vendors are selected for hands-on attention with guests, the schedule is arranged so participants can enjoy every offering if so desired, and there will be plenty of samples, Evans said.

The event will present residents from Simi Valley and the surrounding region a look at significant improvements to The Vineyards, a prominent restaurant atop a hill overlooking east Simi Valley with spectacular views next to waterfalls and glass terraces.

This includes those of all ages, ethnicities, religions and socioeconomic backgrounds, who are unable to use traditional sources within the community.

The Free Clinic of Simi Valley's Medical Program addresses the health problems facing uninsured or underinsured individuals and families in the community. Volunteer physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, and physician assistants provide direct diagnosis, treatment, and education for a wide variety of health problems.

Marriage and Family Therapist trainees provide counseling under the supervision of a licensed MFT. The program is governed under the regulations of the Board of Behavioral Science. Individuals and families spend one hour per week in a private confidential setting receiving careful guidance and caring support from trained counselors, who are skilled in helping clients deal with stress, depression, and communication-related problems. The average course of therapy ranges from six weeks to six months. Appointments are available at various times throughout the week. Please call the clinic between 5 and 8PM for more information or to make appointments.
