Wednesday we had the pleasure of listening to Hank Barnette present his classification talk. We gained a glimpse into his roots and legal career spanning 50 plus years. If you have not met Hank, please introduce yourself. Thanks Hank, for your presentation.

Paul Alexander contracted polio during a major U.S. outbreak of the disease in the late 1950s, and has lived in an iron lung since. It wasn’t until a business meeting with a club member in Texas last year that he learned about Rotary’s fight to eradicate the disease.
Eradicating polio from India took impressive coordination and commitment. Rotary members in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, drew on those qualities again in December, when they mobilized more than 40,000 people to create the world’s largest human national flag as a tribute to the polio eradication effort.
