We were pleased to welcome distinguished guest and Rotarian John Barfield to our May 19th luncheon meeting. An esteemed entrepreneur and founder of the Bartech Group, John joined the Rotary Club of Ypsilanti in the '60s. Forty years ago, Mr. Barfield challenged other Rotarians to raise the funds to immunize one million children against polio. The campaign was successful and enough money was raised to vaccinate 500,000 children. In September, John has been invited to Rotary International to present a check from the sale of his book, "Starting From Scratch" in the amount of $90,000 - enough to help him achieve the balance of his personal goal to fund one million polio vaccinations. We are grateful to Rotarian Barfield for his inspirational presentation today.
