PJ – Four Way Test
Joe B – Invocation
President Joe:
- Welcomed everyone and introduced Brenda P to welcome her guest.
Brenda Pollock introduced a special guest, her granddaughter, Maddison Thayer. Maddison was a recipient of the Charitable Contribution after she suffered an accident to her hand.
Maddison Thayer Nine-year-old Maddison is going into fourth grade at Biddeford Intermediate School. She has a younger brother (3 yrs. old), Hunter and “Fabulous Mom & Dad”. Maddison came today to thank the Biddeford – Saco Rotary club in person, for “your” generous donation. On May 19th, Maddison’s left hand got caught in a running treadmill resulting in full-thickness burns to her left hand. She and her family traveled to Shriners Children Hospital up to three times per week for treatment. Her recovery is expected to be a long, up to seven years, but her wounds have closed. She now wears a compression glove twenty-three hours a day for the next year. At Shriners, she is treated by eight top specialists. As her way of saying thanks to everyone, Maddison made “a traditional family favorite recipe” Peanut Butter Fudge.
We thank Maddison for coming in and for the treat! Her experience has impelled her to be an advocate for treadmill safety and is requesting companies to add a release bar feature on new treadmill devices.
