“Rolling with Rotary International” visited District 6380 on Wednesday, August 5, 2015. The Motor Home with 4 Young Professionals, who are Rotarians, visited the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The Rotary Club of Ann Arbor (RCAA) was the host for this one of two stops in our state.Ann Arbor is one of the 10 stops the motor home is making during their 9 day trip that began in State College, Pa and ends in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The focus of the Ann Arbor stop highlighted the efforts of Rotary International to eradicate polio throughout the world. A commemorative polio walk was organized departing the Union and ending at the Rackham Building, where 60 years ago, Dr Thomas Francis Jr and Dr. Jonas Salk announced to the world that the Salk polio vaccine was effective in preventing paralytic polio. Another historical announcement was made about a recently achieved milestone, at the conclusion of the walk. Along the March route, the Rotarian marchers stop paused at intervals to learn of a milestone of polio eradication efforts throughout the years with the final milestone announcement at the end of the march.
