Polio was an epidemic and now, thanks to Rotary, it’s nearly been erased from the world. Today there is another epidemic of far reaching proportions – human trafficking and slavery.
 
Slavery is still very much alive and well in our modern-day world. If you agree that this should be abolished and if you, like me, think that what Rotary did to eradicate polio it can do to eradicate human trafficking and slavery, please join me in seeking ways to make that happen.
 
I have been appointed to chair an ad hoc committee for District 6420 to investigate this possibility and am seeking other Rotarians who are passionate about this issue. An exploratory meeting will be scheduled later this summer.
 
Will you join us? My e-mail address is: tonisrotary@gmail.com or you may phone me at (270) 703-9799. Let’s do for this issue what we’ve done for polio!  Toni Lucas
