Rotary International has produced two videos on the fight against Polio. Permanent links to the videos are in the right-hand side panel and quick access to the link below this story
The videos show the history behind the fight against polio from the start in the late 70s through to how the world Health Organisation joined in and then the Bill Gates Foundation came in with the 2 for 1 dollar fund matching. The fight is still ongoing.
Recommended viewing for all Rotarians. RI has recommended the videos are shown to the public on all possible occasions.

We were informed of the plight of children and families of prisoners by Helen Glanville from Second Chances, a charity set up to help the families of prisoners. Children of prisoner parents are 7 times more likely to go to prison when compared to other children. If the family is indigenous, then the probability moves to 21 times more likely to serve a term in gaol.
Some of our club members with partners that attended were Sue Graetz and her partner Mark and Robert Brookes with his partner Peggy. Marie Rothe and Keith Millington were also there but were not in the photo.
