As part of the effort by Rotary International to eradicate polio, Club Secretary Barb Wilson spent 10 days in Ghana in October, giving polio immunizations and working on school renovations in remote villages. Ghanaian and Nigerian Rotarians and community health workers, teamed with 20 North American Rotarians to help ensure that more than 500 babies and toddlers received not only life-saving polio drops, but other vaccinations and health checkups. The Rotarians were treated as celebrities. The village chief kicked off the event and women dressed themselves and their babies in their best outfits, despite torrential rains and long muddy walks to the site. No Rotary funds were used for the travel expenses of the North American volunteers.
From right, Rotarians Graham Paull, President-Elect Hector Espana, Sheila Paull and Chapala Municipal Clinic Administrator Dr. Sergio Ibarra.
Combine the season of giving with Rotary’s year-long mission of service above self, and good things happen.
Chapala Sunrise Rotary thanks everyone involved in making the project happen.

His fabulous home is in Rancho del Oro, West Ajijic on the corner of Rio Chamela (just east of La Huerta Tuesday Market event center) and Rio Amazonas at #17B. Bring a friend or anyone who is interested in Rotary. There will no be pressure to join, but there will be a bit of pressure on our members who are competing for a bottle of “good tequila” by bringing the most friends. Mix it up and have some fun!

Bill Wilson and Hector España visited the Ajijic Dental Clinic at the Centro Salud Ajijic on Saturday. They met with Dr. Miguel Villaseñor Calvillo to learn about the services that the clinic offers. The clinic offers basic dental service such as cleaning, filling and tooth extractions. Our club has donated more than $1000 U.S. to meet more complicated needs such as prosthetics, dental surgery, and medically necessary orthodontics.
The Chapala Sunrise Rotary Club's annual Changing Of The Guard was held Saturday night at Manix Restaurant. The outgoing Board of Directors was recognized for their work during the past year and the new Board, headed by new president Bill Wilson, was inducted.
The Chapala Sunrise Rotary Club supports the dedicated efforts of member Alicia Salcido to promote youth soccer teams in San Juan Cosala, She coordinates team creation, development and competition. Through her efforts, teams get uniforms, shoes and other equipment. Parents provide team coaching and leadership.
On June 27, 2015 our club celebrated the first anniversary of our Rotary charter. At the same time, we thanked our first President and executive board for their selfless service over the past year. Then, we welcomed our new President, Sheila Paull and the new executive board that will serve for the 2015-2016 term.
