    THANK YOU

    Dear Rotarians,
    What a delightful way to greet me upon my recent return home from a "confinement" in the hospital! Our heart felt thanks to Rotary for the wonderful calenchoe plant.
    Sincerely,
    Ralph (Morris)

    PROGRAM:

    TED WOLFE introduced Li-Fen Chang, M.D., PhD. Radiation Oncologist with the Oncology Institute whose father is a Rotarian in Taiwan. She gave us a very detailed presentation complete with photos relating to advancements in radiation technology in the treatment of cancer. By splitting the beam and using computer design capabilities they are able to attack the tumor with a minimum of damage to healthy organs. An impressive cure rate with good quality of life is the result.

    V.P. TOM's Quip

    Much Abbreviated: When a priest visited a preschool center a three year old asked: "Why do you dress funny?" The priest replied that this was a priest's unifrom. The boy asked if the collar hurt him? The priest removed the collar and showed the boy the manufacturer's imprint and asked: "Do you know what those words say?" "Yes, I do!" said the boy who was not old enough to read. "It says: Kills ticks and fleas for up to six months!"
