IT'S MAKE-UP TIME IN SOUTH FLORIDA

JoAnne Brooks

Today I had the opportunity to make-up at the South Miami (Florida) club. A previous post included some photos I snapped at their annual Art Show that happened this past weekend. The club has about 60 members and they are a friendly bunch. The meeting speaker was an artist who was involved with the art show. JoAnne Brooks is also a polio survivor, and shared some of her life events and concerns as related to polio. As much as American Rotarians have done to help eradicate polio on the world stage we spend virtually nothing on domestic research to help polio survivors, and there are many of them.She pointed out that we hardly even talk about polio in the USA. There was a lot of irony in her presentation. If you are interested in finding out more, she can be reached via email-joanne@jabjewels.com.
