President Sakuji Tanaka commited to eradicate Polio

To all Rotarians - these news stories are for your to take and spread in your own areas.  We have a powerful international network that we should use to share our news stories.


Yomiuri Shimbun - June 22, 2012 
A Japanese daily with the largest circulation, ran a profile story on President Sakuji Tanaka. He is depicted as a real self-made man in an inspiring way.  Polio eradication is mentioned in his comment, “I’m committed to eradicate polio campaign. Eradication of polio is Rotary’s top priority.”  He also mentioned about the two schools he and his district built in Bangladesh. The story is mainly about his life (including Rotary).  The last paragraph reads ‘Rotary clubs are organizations which implement service activities in the communities both locally and internationally.  There are about 90,000 members in 2,300 clubs in Japan.”
