We have the resources to End Polio Now. The job will be difficult in getting to the last 1 percent, but it can be done. Eradication is the only option. To give up on eradicating a preventable disease is immoral. Rotarians have made all the difference in this fight. See more in a video with Dr. Rob Murphy, director of global health at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, at http://vimeo.com/31028535.

There are as many reasons to support The Rotary Foundation as there are ways to do good in the world.

I want to thank each and every one of you for giving me this opportunity. I have found that the President is always fully supported, people volunteer for things, “upward” praise is given, and everyone is pulling in the same direction. It is just so darned satisfying and it makes the effort very worthwhile. I will really miss it, although I am looking forward to going back and sitting where you are! |
