We are at 28% EREY status!  Please make your additional (or more) $50 donation to Rotary Foundation for year-end giving.
 
Did y'all see the Polio stories in the last issue of the Rotarian? If not, please do and here's a story that hits close to home - did you know that Whitney Shephard Yates' mom had polio and spent almost a year in a hospital when she was very little? Whitney remembers thinking it was especially terrible that her mom hated chocolate because all of her medicine was chocolate-flavored in the hospital! Anything bad enough to make you hate chocolate has to be horrible!
 
Elizabeth Sommerll gave a Classification Talk.  Here's a little bit of what we learned:

 - Her family used to own and operate a winery in Virginia
 - Plays kickball for the Pooler Plantains team
