Alice's Corner 10-22
There was no Alice’s Corner last week as the entire club placed labels on the inside of dictionaries. These dictionaries will be passed, out by Rotarians, on October 29th to 3rd graders in the Marana school district. Our thanks to Dan Contorno for spear heading this wonderful endeavor.
It was announced that on December 10 we will go to John Zwick’s place of business for our Christmas celebration. Mrs. Claus will of course be in attendance.
Today we celebrated two birthdays. Kathleen Debiak turned 55 years young today. Maeve Johnson will celebrate her special day tomorrow. Congratulations ladies.
Our speaker today was Jo Holt our residing biophysicist. She enlightened us about the polio virus.
She broke it down into three basic parts: basic facts, cell destruction and the vaccine.
95% of the people who contract the disease do not even know they have it. It is very infectious as it can start in the throat and proceed to the intestine. In third world countries it is passed by unsanitary toilet conditions.
Thank you Jo we may not have followed all of what was said but we have a better understanding.
