President's Message

Lincoln East Rotary Club

As we prepare for World Polio Day on 10/24/20, Rotary Magazine published several articles on Rotary’s efforts to eradicate polio in the October 2020 issue (pages 38-47).  Pages 44-47 focus on “Why Partners Matter” showing how Rotary’s efforts to eradicate polio have developed infrastructure to help our partners manage the Covid-19 pandemic.
 
Also, two of our Lincoln East Rotarians presented an article from Time Magazine focusing on the eradication of polio in Nigeria and specifically mentioned Rotary International as well as the GPEI including the Bill Gates Foundation as well as the Nigerian physician who worked tirelessly there.  Such great efforts!

This is what the SPOKE cover looked like in the 1980-81 Rotary Year.  Please note that it says "Lincoln Northeast" and this was before it changed it's name to "Lincoln East."  We have come a long way since then with our technology.
