A new book in the field of public health highlights Rotary’s role in the global effort to wipe out polio, and places it in the context of humanity’s relentless struggle to contain the world’s epidemics.
In “The Health of Nations: The Campaign to End Polio and Eradicate Epidemic Diseases” (Oneworld Publications), British journalist and Sunday Times best-selling author Karen Bartlett surveys the global landscape of epidemics past, present, and future. Beginning with the 1980 eradication of smallpox, she guides us through more timely threats such as the Ebola and Zika viruses, and looks ahead to a future without malaria, measles, or polio.
“Who decided to rid the world of polio? Not politicians or global health organizations, as you might expect,” she writes, in one of several chapters devoted to polio. “The starting gun was fired by Rotary International, a network of businessmen more used to enjoying convivial dinners, raising money for local good causes, and organizing floats to carry Santa Claus around suburban neighborhoods at Christmas.”

Kendra Jeffcoat Memorial Service
The memorial service for Kendra Jeffcoat will be held at 10:00 am on Saturday, April 1, 2017 at the Rancho Bernardo Community Presbyterian Church. The church is located on Pomerado Road just north of the intersection of Pomerado Road and Rancho Bernardo Road. We all know how involved Kendra was in many organizations in Rancho Bernardo and the impact she had on in our community. For that reason, the sanctuary at the church may very well be crowded, so plan to arrive at least 30 minutes in advance of the service.
