At the noon meeting on June 30, club member David Freeman shared information about polio and Rotary’s mission to help eradicate it from the planet.   David first presented a definition and history of polio.  The last case in the U.S. was in 1979, so younger generations do not know a lot about the earlier epidemics.  It was the most dreaded childhood disease until vaccines were developed in the 1950s.  He focused on Georgia’s central role in polio treatment and gave a history of the facility at Warm Springs, which was made popular by Franklin D. Roosevelt, who benefited from the  hot springs treatments.  He praised the work done by District 6900 to restore the historic cottages there.   He encouraged members to participate in the upcoming club outing planned for July 26 to visit the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation and the Little White House.  He can be reached at davidfreeman@remax.net or 404-314-4718 for details about this event.
