World Polio Day is tomorrow (October 24), and we need your help to amplify our message about eradicating polio to protect the world’s children from a devastating disease.
We have made tremendous progress since the Global Polio Eradication Initiative was launched:
A 99.9% reduction in cases of illness caused by wild poliovirus
3 billion children immunized
125 countries where polio was endemic reduced to two—Afghanistan and Pakistan—with the virus contained in just a few districts and provinces
But even just one case still represents one child’s life forever changed by polio. That’s why Rotary members must remain tenacious and keep our promise: We won’t stop until we know that no child will ever again experience the paralyzing effects of polio.
Let’s use World Polio Day to advocate for the support we need to make history by eradicating polio. Together, we end polio! Learn more at endpolio.org/world-polio-day and make a donation to help end polio. Your donation helps Rotary and its partners reach every child with the polio vaccine. Thanks to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, your contribution will be tripled, getting us even closer to a polio-free world.
In today's digital age, cybersecurity isn't just a necessity—it's a mission. Jeff Kiple stands at the forefront of that mission, championing the cause of protecting small and medium-sized businesses from looming cyber threats. With a keen awareness that smaller enterprises are often more vulnerable to cyberattacks, Jeff's objective is not just about defense but empowerment. He provides businesses with the tools and strategies to understand and mitigate risks, ensuring they operate with security assurance.
A brief glimpse into Jeff's qualifications: Masters in Cybersecurity from Bellevue University and a Bachelors in Business from Doane College.
Jeff's expertise isn't limited to the confines of cybersecurity alone. He's an ardent follower of IT security trends, international affairs, and military updates. His thirst for knowledge is rivaled only by his zest for adventure. On weekends, you might find him treading an ignored trail or planning his next overseas journey, constantly seeking out the unknown.
But amid all the explorations and escapades, Jeff's loyalty to the Huskers football team remains unflavoured. An ardent supporter, he reminisces about the strong finish from last season and eagerly anticipates the next. "Go Big Red!" is a cheer and sentiment close to his heart.
For businesses, individuals, or fellow Huskers fans looking to discuss strategies to fortify their cyber walls or chat about the upcoming season, Jeff invites you to reach out. Every new connection begins with an initial security risk evaluation. Secure your business and discover the world of cyber safety with Jeff Kiple and Kelpie Security LLC.

Our Club celebrates Veterans Day each year with gusto—this year in the Talon room on Tues., Nov. 7. If you're a Vet in Club 14—especially new members—make sure our “In Club Celebrations Committee” has your name, branch of service, and a picture of you in uniform, if possible, for inclusion in our Veteran Club Member “Roll Call” at the November 7 meeting.
Please send your service information and pictures, if possible, to Committee members Sandi Fabry, Tim Kenny, or General Roger Lempke. If you're a Club 14 member, consider inviting a Veteran you know to the meeting to celebrate with us along with the many community Vets we've already invited to the meeting.
We have great music and a great program planned! Invite a Vet, send us your Veteran data, and join us for a great annual celebration.
