Two brothers, a care, one important social cause, and a lot of courage. That's how Fred Mesquita and his brother, José Eduardo, began the Hepatitis Zero Expedition. The two brothers have completed the first stage, traveling through 20 countries and visiting 274 cities on the American continent.
Have you ever wondered how Rotary became involved with polio eradication in the first place? Ken Solow, past governor of District 7620 did. He used to use polio eradication as an example of poor goal setting in his presidents-elect training seminar classes. It was up there right next to world peace. I mean … really?
It turns out that one of the true giants in our story was a past governor in his district (7620). His name is Dr. John Sever. While you’ve probably never heard of him, I think when you learn his story you will be amazed. You will also learn about many other Rotary leaders who have been a part of the incredible story of how Rotary got started on our journey to eradicate polio.
Plan on attending a our meeting on March 29 to view the video "Dare to Dream" as part of the Sergeant-at-Arms program.

From crime on the streets of Chicago to human rights violations in Syria and unending war in Afghanistan, people are increasingly convinced that the world is falling apart. The reality is that in many ways, the world is healthier, more prosperous and more peaceful than at any time in history. Thus we face the paradox of a world that is both turbulent and tranquil at the same time. How do we calm the unrest, spread prosperity and show that the world can be, and in fact is, a better place to live?
