Kenny Vernor
The Status of Polio Eradication
We’re excited to hear from one of our own this week! Past President and fellow Rotarian Kenny Vernor will be sharing the history of polio and an update on where things stand today in the worldwide effort to eradicate it.
Polio eradication has long been one of Rotary’s most important missions, making this a program especially meaningful to our club. Kenny has a true love of history and enjoys sharing what he learns, so we’re looking forward to an interesting and informative presentation.
Be sure to join us this week!
