Dark was falling and we all ventured across the street to watch the END POLIO NOW lighting of the Ferry Building. President Klinginsmith lead us in the countdown. Well, it wasn't what most of us were expecting, the familiar END POLIO NOW logo, but rather a laser line look, almost like a neon sign. It was also a little too low making it was hard to read, but once they got it higher, it was very clear, when using the blue and green lights. I know Ginger was disappointed in the initial effect, but you know what, I think it was still great. The point is Rotary got to light up San Francisco with END POLIO NOW. So it wasn't what we were expecting. Sometimes it's what we don't expect that turns out to be the best. The rain was bad in the morning, but the participants were all rays of sunshine, undeterred by a little rain (well maybe not a little) but it was Rotarians doing what they do best: Service Above Self by bringing attention to Polio Eradication in San Francisco. All will agree the fellowship was phenomenal. And for those who didn't make the events, the donations will make a difference.
I invite you to the Rotary Club of West Point (Virginia) where you are always welcome. We meet Thursday morning at 7:30.
