For Your Information - Feb 5th - Ron Saikowski, President of the Rotary Club of Conroe

On For Your Information this week, my guest is Ron Saikowski, President of the Rotary Club of Conroe (RCOC), who told listeners about Rotary and the many projects and activities in which his organization is involved. He explained about “My First Box”, an interactive journal/book given to First Grade students who, as they learn to read and write, complete stories in the book by writing in names and events from their own lives. It’s designed for the student to use it though their entire time in school. Saikowski told of RCOC’s efforts to help eradicate polio overseas by providing an oral serum that vaccinates the person to the disease in places like Pakistan, India, parts of Africa. He talked about many other Rotary projects, especially a program that helps get potable water to places where individuals travel 10 miles and more daily to retrieve good water.
