Polio Eradication - 2019 Update During the month of June 2019, Texarkana Sunrise Rotary Club wants to educate you on the status of Polio cases and the Rotary's effort to Eradication Polio. 17 in Pakistan! 7 in Afghanistan! It is not too late to make what could be your most important financial contribution to the POLIO ERADICATION campaign! Click Here to see Latest Report Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 30 years. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever. As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, we've reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent since our first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979. We've helped immunize more than 2.5 billion children in 122 countries. So far, Rotary has contributed more than $1.8 billion toward eradicating the disease worldwide. Today, polio remains endemic only in Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan. But it’s crucial to continue working to keep other countries polio-free. If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year. Explore the history of Rotary and polio eradication To make a donation, mail a check to Rotary Foundation, Texarkana Sunrise Rotary Club, 2801 Bethany Lane, Texarkana, Tx. 75503.

 Members of Texarkana Sunrise Rotary Club are aware of Assistant District Governor Ralph Waits' passion for stargazing. On January 20th, 2019, Ralph Waits, and his daughter, Katie Shonkwiler set up telescopes to view an astronomical rarity, the Super Blood Wolf Moon Lunar Eclipse. For those not in the know, a super blood moon is the phenomenon where the moon appears reddish in color and particularly large and bright during a total lunar eclipse. The lunar eclipse occurs because the moon passes into the Earth's shadow. Finally, a wolf moon is the first full moon of the year. People from all over the United States turned their eyes skyward on January 20th, 2019 for a glimpse of this spectacle and those who did were not disappointed. #SuperBloodWolfMoon2019 #TexarkanaSunriseRotary #AtronomyIsFun

 Growing Texarkana Sunrise Rotary Club and Local Scouting Movement
Tyler Joyce, Paraprofessional Field Executive, BSA Caddo Council, became the newest member of Texarkana Sunrise Rotary Club on December 19, 2018. He is pictured with current Texarkana Sunrise Rotary President Steve Collier. Tyler was instrumental in setting up Sunrise Rotary with Nash Elementary School to start a Cub Scout Pack. Tyler will be an asset to Sunrise.
After completing all BSA requirements for his Eagle rank, and following an adult error scheduling his board of review, this Boy Scout turned 18-years old. His adult leaders misinformed the scout, by telling him he was no longer eligible for his Eagle rank. Recently, Tyler Joyce submitted his application to the national office a Belated Eagle Scout Request. A group of national level volunteers reviewed the records and documentation, and certified that our Caddo Area Council could convene a board of review.
Our Caddo Area Council field executive and Pack 16 Den Leader participated in an Eagle Board of Review, and he passed.
Congratulations to our newest Eagle Scout, Tyler Joyce. Well Done!
