PROGRAM (September 10, 2002)

Prior to hearing today's speaker, the club was treated to the vocal performance of Mary Jane Gregan, music teacher at Burnett Creek Elementary School. On the eve of the first anniversary of September 11th, Mary Jane sang God Bless America. Then she performed her own composition, Towers of Tomorrow, a very inspirational song which portrayed America's children as the country's hope for the future.

PHIL KLINGER introduced his wife, Nancy Klinger, who gave a most interesting program on her experience with polio. She fell ill as a child, was totally paralyzed, spent time in an iron lung in Riley Hospital in Indianapolis and recovered. Speaking on behalf of the 300,00 survivors of polio, she says they all tough and have a strong desire to repay for the life they have been given. Fifty percent have continued to suffer with post polio syndrome. Rotary's efforts to conquer polio, gives us all hope.

Nancy requested that the cost of a Rotary Wheel be donated to the Eradicate Polio program.
