The Rotary Foundation held the Presidential Gala to welcome Rotary International President Dong Kurn (D.K.)Lee to the Lowcountry last night. He spoke about the Polio Eradication Program and how polio has successfully been eradicated from all but 4 countries through the efforts of Rotary.
New Major Donors and new Bequest Society members were recognized and introduced to D.K. The long reaching effect of this rather quiet group of humanitarians deserves commendation.
Another program of Rotary, through the Hilton Head Island Club is helping burn victims. Present last night was a 5 year old from the Phillipines who was to have plastic surgery to repair burn injuries.
Other programs of Rotary International include improving living conditions for needy families, increasing food production and providing clean water, making immunizations and medical treatment more available, and encouraging international understanding and promoting peace between countries.
