I’d like to close with a few words from Bill Gates, Sr., who is Co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. As you may know, the Gates Foundation has contributed over $25 million in the battle to eradicate polio.
“Back when Rotary became involved with polio, most people thought volunteer organizations were about tackling projects down the street or across town – not across the world. Rotary changed all that, and in the process, you reminded us that there is no human problem so daunting that it can’t be overcome by people.”
I want you to feel proud that you are a Rotarian and to know we need your help to build a solid future for the next century of service.
