The Rotary Club of San Jose held its weekly meeting at the San Jose’s Rotary Summit Center. 
CN2A9909

The greeting line in the Joe Leavitt Room was staffed by the Debunking Committee chaired by Carl Cilker and today led by all-round good person, Brian Adams. The Committee sees that our retiring President receives a memorable send-off. I happen to however to overhear Jerry Silva’s take on the matter as Jerry explained to a Red-Badger that “it is a very respectful salute to our out-going chief.” Jerry can gloss anything.

President Mike presided over the Club’s 4934th   meeting. We joined with Ray Silva and the piano of Professor Terry Kane in singing America the Beautiful.

Our “Wisdom for the Day” came from Jay Ross. The words do speak wisely and it seemed that others might like a copy of what he said. “On June 13, my parents will celebrate 59 years of marriage.

EndPolioNowLogo

Rotarians all over the world have been working in unison to ensure that no child will ever again know the crippling effects of Polio. It has been twenty years since the last case was reported in the Americas. While India seems on track again for 2013 to achieve zero polio cases, frantic efforts are underway in the other polio-endemic countries. Let us all rededicate ourselves to the cause and keep fighting to eradicate Polio from the face of the earth. 

You can download Rotary International's "End Polio Now" bimonthly newsletter by Clicking On This Link. It was updated April 2013.

The bottom line is this: As long as polio threatens even one child anywhere in the world, all children – wherever they live – remain at  risk. You can track the progress on the internet of Polio eradication at this link. There is a Rotary International Link here
