My Rotary Moment - Polio Iron Lung Survivor
My Rotary Moment - Polio Iron Lung Survivor

Summary:  I am a Polio Survivor having contracted the disease during the early 50’s epidemic. I was blessed to have survived having had a tracheotomy, spending time in an Iron Lung and having to learn how to walk again. This is my experience and although I joined Rotary in the mid 1970’s, I was never been more proud than when Rotary launched the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1985. My focus will be not only my journey but that of Rotary in this battle against this insidious disease.
 
Bio: 25 Years in Broadcast Management, 20 Years in Senior Care Administration, Alzheimer’s Care Specialist, Master Trainer of Alzheimer’s Care, 40 years of service in Rotary. Member of three clubs in two States. Past President of The Mystc Connecticut Club, Three time President of the Westerly Rhode Island Club, Three time Paul Harris Fellow. Member of my District Polio Plus Committee, Polio Survivor….U.S. Navy / Viet Nam Veteran serving on the USS Kitty Hawk (CVA-63) from October 1967 to March 1971.

President's Message

Peter Elmer

member photo
“Service Above Self”. This is the motto our club membership continues to live by since 1959. Our membership of friends, neighbors, community leaders and problem-solvers, see a world were they take-action and make a lasting change – across the globe, in our local communities and in themselves. The Lake Forest-Lake Bluff Rotary Club Foundation, our charitable committee, has donated more than $1 million to global and local communities causes. One of our main projects is “Operation Warm”, where we have donated more than 7,000 winter coats to children in our local communities. We also support food pantries and pack food to send over-seas.
 
We are people of action and problem solvers. We live by our motto, “Service Above Self”. Most importantly, we like to have fun.
 
Come join the Lake Forest-Lake Bluff Rotary Club family with your ideas and together we will make a difference. Complete the application form on this site and come to one of our weekly Wednesday morning meetings.
