With our meeting moved from Wednesday 28th to Tuesday 27th, our members had the opportunity to share a dinner and fellowship with many Rotarians from the other local rotary clubs. A great dinner at the Bendigo Club; our thanks to the organisers, the Rotary Club of Bendigo. The guest speaker on the evening was Past District Governor Julie Mason. Julie presented an historical summary of Polio and its effects over the years. For many of us, this was an eye-opener, realising that Polio was recognized by the medical profession more than 100 years before Rotary took the initiative and began the massive campaign for eradication. We aren't finished yet, but it is such a long way from where we began; it is definitely worth the effort to continue to ensure it is wiped out for the benefit of all future generations.
