    ROTARY FACT:

    Rotary's top philanthropic goal is to eradicate polio worldwide. Since establishing its PolioPlus program in 1985, Rotary members have helped to immunize more than 2 billion children in 122 countries, and have contributed more than US$500 million toward a polio-free world.

    PROGRAM:
    FRED ANDERSON and ADRIENNE BOUGH walked us through the newest in Health Insurance Alphabet Soup. Health Savings Accounts are primarily used by 30 - 50 year olds making between $50,000 and $100,000. The savings accounts can be used for deductibles, non-insured needs, over the counter needs, and long term care insurance. At the end of the year, the remainder rolls forward to the next year. Since they became available in January,2004, over one million people have purchased HSA's.

    PRESIDENT SUSAN'S WISDOM:

    An elderly man is on the operating table awaiting surgery. He has insisted that his son, a renowned surgeon, perform the operation. As he is about to receive the anesthesia, the old man asks to speak to his son.

    "Yes, Dad, what is it?"

    "Don't be nervous, son, do your best, and just remember, if it doesn't go well, if something should happen to me, your mother is going to come and live with you and your wife."
