End Polio Now - World Polio Day Dinner
In honor of World Polio Day, the Rotary Clubs of Atlanta Southern Cresent/Clifton Emory held a dinner at Chai Pani in honor of polio champions who have dedicated their lives to eradicating polio as part of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI). The Club was humbled and honored to be in the presence of several global polio champions who were in town for high level strategy meetings, including Dr. Hemant Shukla and Dr. Mufti Zubair Wadood. They shared their experiences on the frontlines of polio eradication in the most remote parts of the world and the immense efforts and dedication that polio workers share globally towards a polio-free world.
Good Shepherd Pillars Luncheon
The Good Shepherd Clinic, where those not insured can get medical help, held its 10th annual Pillars Luncheon. This event honors those in the community who are "pillars" of the community. There are five pillars each year: legal, business, education, medical, and community service. At the Atlanta Southern Crescent table were two members who are former recipients of the award as business pillars, Dawn Murray-Hartman and Claudia Mertl. Each table was beautifully decorated with a different theme. We used "Rotary -End Polio Now" as our theme. The Good Shepherd Clinic meets a lot of needs in our community. Several of our members have served on the Board and volunteer at the Clinic. We participate in this fundraiser for the Clinic each year. We have done community grants with the Clinic.
