Due to some technology issue, the editor was unable to retrieve the update for the Clatter from the President. I am truly sorry for this! However, I feel confident that Scott would have wanted to address the following items:
Last week was the Youngstown Rotary field trip to OH WOW! with the Harding Elementary students that rotarians mentor through our "Put Kids First Program". Everyone had an excellent time and it was another great event for our program and the kids we work with.
Rotary Club of Youngstown is proud to partner with Boardman Chick-Fil-A to End Polio Now! On Monday AM Youngstown Rotarians Elayne Bozick and Sharon Letson were interviewd on WFMJ Today with Jess Briganti about polio eradication. At noon on Monday in downtown Youngstown central square people could purchase a crocus lapel pin to show support for this important endeavor! We are "this close" to a polio free world.
I promise next week Scott will return with his ever insightful commentary.
