Many thanks to our Membership Chair, Viktor Cytra, for inviting Joan to speak to our E-Club. Joan presented this moving story via Zoom at a special meeting of the Rotary E-Club of One World on 30 September 2017 before a global audience. This is the best End Polio Now story ever! Joan and Terry have been invited by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to participate in the World Polio Day 2017 Livestream Event in Seattle on 24 October.
