Phil is the District “Polio Plus” Co-Chair

 Phil tells us that when he was eight years old he contracted polio and lost the use of both his arms.

Despite his disability he served in the Peace Corps teaching students in Kenya, East Africa.

 Phil later joined Rotary, served as club president and continued to serve communities in need and joined the fight to end polio.

 Phil presented an informative video on Polio Myelitis.

 Thank you for joining us today Phil, and for providing an important and timely program on this dreaded disease.

 Rotary has spent millions since the eighties to eradicate polio in the world.

We have made great strides as countless Rotary volunteers have stepped up to give millions of doses of the vaccine across the globe.
