Long time Southampton Rotarian John Mitchell joined our Hampton Bays Club in December of 2016. Now a retiree and Florida snow bird, we're thrilled to have his many years of Rotary experience on hand to help educate our newer members. John recently sold some stock subject to Capital Gains tax. To help offset that tax liability, he made a generous donation to Rotary Foundation. Shown at right is Immediate Past President Tom Crowley on the right awarding John his Paul Harris Fellow credentials. Keep Rotary Foundation in mind for your giving!

For years, Angalia Bianca had slept in abandoned buildings throughout Chicago. She stole. She did drugs. She spent time in and out of jail for forgery, theft, trespassing, and possession of narcotics. But after she landed in prison for the seventh time, something changed -- Bianca knew she wanted a better life. She just didn’t know how to make it happen.

 

After serving her time, Bianca sought help from a local homeless organization, A Safe Haven, and moved to its shelter in the Rogers Park neighborhood. Bianca followed the program closely -- she attended all the required meetings, passed drug tests, and volunteered at every opportunity.

Throughout India and around the world, Rotary clubs are celebrating a major milestone: India has gone three years without a new case of polio. The last reported case was a two-year-old girl in West Bengal on 13 January 2011. To mark this historic triumph, Rotary clubs illuminated landmarks and iconic structures throughout the country with four simple but powerful words, "India is polio free."

 

The three-year achievement sets the stage for polio-free certification of the entire Southeast Asia region by the World Health Organization. The Indian government also plans to convene a polio summit in February to commemorate this victory in the global effort to eradicate polio.
