B2B OF THE WEEK: Marshfield Mercantile & Tarnished Threads
By Bill Grile
This week’s BUSINESS OF THE WEEK RECOGNITION goes to Marshfield Mercantile & Tarnished Threads, owned by second-generation Rotarian Steven Schneiderman. Marshfield Mercantile is a vendor-style mall featuring antiques, vintage collectables, new clothes, soaps, lotions, jewelry and more.
Steve heard a presentation about B2B a couple weeks during an online meeting of the Coos Bay – North Bend Rotary Club and didn’t hesitate to promote his business to other Rotarians through the B2B Directory by purchasing a Gold subscription costing only $45 for a full year. Check out Marshfield Mercantile & Tarnished Threads at https://5110b2b.org/business-listing/marshfield-mercantile-tarnished-threads/ and visit this Rotarian-owned business when in Coos Bay.
Every D5110 Rotarian with a business is entitled to a FREE listing in the new B2B business directory. If you have a known business listed through DACdb, your business is already listed. Look, and if you have a business that is not listed, click on https://5110b2b.org/pricing/ and add your business with either a FREE listing or select one of the upgrade opportunities providing greater visibility. These FREE listings are a member benefit, available at no cost because connecting Rotarians and vocations is at the heart of Rotary’s core values. District 5110 hopes you will contact Rotarian Dan Smith (dan@dewaga.com) if you have questions or need help, or visit the B2B website at www.5110b2b.org.
To upgrade a FREE listing for greater visibility, visit the B2B website at www.5110b2b.org for details, or contact Dan Smith at dan@dewaga.com.

The youngest are the most vulnerable
CoVid-19 Update by Frances Dixon
Anyeli Daniela is one of our club's literacy program children in Las Victorias, Guatemala. She is one of the most vulnerable in the group of 20—when her mother died, she was abandoned by her father and left in the care of her impoverished grandparents. With the Covid strict lockdowns and curfews continuing, food has become increasingly scarce and prohibitively expensive. A donation from one of our club members has made it possible for onsite Rotarian Frances Dixon to deliver a supply of food to her home.
THANK YOU for caring!

The World Bank states that “Girls’ education is a strategic development priority. Better educated women tend to be healthier, participate more in the formal labor market, earn higher incomes, have fewer children, marry at a later age, and enable better health care and education for their children. All these factors combined can help lift households, communities, and nations out of poverty.”
Our club is making those benefits become a reality!

The Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) program, including CDC, is drawing on years of experience fighting outbreaks and reaching underserved communities to support governments as they prepare and respond to COVID-19. The infrastructure developed and supported by GPEI to advance polio eradication includes the extensive surveillance and laboratory network and the large cadre of frontline health workers to engage communities and conduct mass vaccination campaigns.
In the polio endemic countries of Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan, where polio personnel and assets have a significant footprint, workers from all GPEI partners are pitching in with COVID-19 disease surveillance, health worker training, contact tracing, risk communication and more. In Pakistan, the national help line established for polio-related calls is now also providing information to the public on COVID-19. The regional reference laboratories are providing technical support for COVID-19 virologic testing. Additionally, polio teams are:
- providing training to surveillance officers on the specifics of COVID-19 surveillance,
- supporting the development of a new data system that is fully integrated with the existing surveillance and data management system for polio, and
- lending their skills as health risk communicators, providing accurate educational information to the community who have questions and a desire for information about the disease and its manifestations.
In Nigeria, CDC polio in-country staff serve in the Nigeria Emergency Operations Center for COVID-19 in the capital, Abuja, and are supporting the National Emergency Routine Immunization Coordination Centre (NERICC) with COVID-19 response planning. National Stop Transmission of Polio (NSTOP) personnel are also supporting the NERICC to boost response capacity to COVID-19 in Nigeria.
Participants in the STOP Program are actively supporting preparations and response to COVID-19 in non-endemic countries, as well. Since 1999, CDC supported STOP has recruited, trained and deployed 2,225 public health professionals on more than 4,600 assignments in 78 countries, making it CDC’s largest global training program. Currently, there are 107 STOPers (46% of the program staff) in 32 countries who have reported spending an average of 36% of their time on COVID-19 activities, including surveillance, communication plans, advocacy, social mobilization, data collection and analysis, and on-the-job and formal group trainings.
