The members of the Rotary Club of Knoxville were treated to another informative and educational program on Tuesday. Dede Petri, the Regent of the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, was our guest speaker and Adrian Jay, Vice Regent for Tennessee of the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, introduced Petri. Our club learned how Mount Vernon fell in to disrepair until a group of women in 1853 banded together to preserve the home of George Washington. Today, the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association is still the supporting organization for Mount Vernon and has expanded its mission to not only preserving the home and its surrounding property but also in providing educational programs throughout the United States to K-12 teachers about George Washington and American History.

Today, the Rotary Club of Knoxville recognizes how far the world has come in the fight against polio and the work still ahead. When Rotary International and its global partners launched the effort to eradicate polio in 1988, the disease paralyzed approximately 350,000 children every year. Today, cases of wild poliovirus have declined by more than 99.9%, and Rotary has contributed over $2.9 billion and countless volunteer hours to help immunize more than 3 billion children worldwide.

These incredible milestones show what is possible when people unite around a common cause. But our work is not finished. As long as polio exists anywhere in the world, children everywhere remain at risk.

💜 Together, we can finish the fight and make polio the second human disease ever eradicated worldwide. On World Polio Day, let's renew our commitment to a future where no child ever has to suffer from this preventable disease.
