In those days of beginning these Rotarians were most generous in their assistance in development of an International Society for Crippled Children; these, and Rotarians in many states were instigators and supporters of programs for Crippled Children in their own states. . .

37  

But Elyria Rotarian Edgar Allen -- in six years -- traveled 300,000 miles and visited 400 different cities as he encouraged those with the same ideals and dreams. . .

The Program Today
38  

This booklet, undertaken by the Club's Crippled Children Committee, is still a further indication that the Elyria Rotary Club wants to help, not necessarily in the actual treatment, but to add strength to the spirit that "bridged the gulf". . .

39  

So that parents may know that the project for the care and treatment of Crippled Children is still an ongoing concern. . .

40  

And that Rotary can assist in giving information -- support -- advice -- help as they are able. . .

Crippled Children's Clinics (no charge at all for visits!)
41  

. . .are held the first and third Fridays of every month, throughout the year, beginning at 8:00 a.m.

42  

Location is the out patient department of Elyria Memorial Hospital, with the clinics under the supervision of the hospital's othopedic surgeons. . .

43  

It is advisable for prospective new patients to be registered in advance -- but no child is ever turned away. Inquiries should be directed to the Clinic Supervisor. . .

44  

After the first visit, future appointments are generally arranged in advance. . .

45  

Admissions to the "Gates Hospital" section of the Pediatric Department are arranged by the Orthopedic Surgeon, the Clinic Supervisor and the Admitting Department. . .

46  

Guidance and direction are given to sources of assistance that may be available. . .

"He profits most who serves the best"

The Spirit of Rotary
49  

"I have long been thinking that it is quite possible that the Ohio Clubs have opened up the biggest opportunity available to Rotary" -- Paul Harris (1920) (Founder of Rotary International)

50  

"We live but one life; we get nothing out of that life except by putting something into it. To relieve suffering, to help the unfortunate, to do kind acts and deeds is, after all, the one sure way to secure happiness or to achieve real success. Your life and mine shall be valued not by what we take. . .but what we give. . ." -- Edgar F. Allen (1914)

51  

"There is no greater field of effort and opportunity for benefitting humanity than by the care, cure, and education of Crippled Children" -- Rotary -- District 10 (1920)(A Conference Resolution)

52  

"If you don't care who gets the credit, you can do anything" -- Jane Weil (Worker for Illinois Rotarians)
