"What an extraordinary organization Rotary is. There are many organizations that allow you the networking opportunities.  There are many organizations that allow you the opportunity to do service projects in your community.  Rotary is one of the few that allows you to do both.  Were really trying to get Rotarians around the world extremely excited about the fact that were very close to eradicating Polio." said John P.
