“Is the Pharmaceutical Industry Ignoring Alzheimer’s Disease?”

SRC President-elect Andy Leyhane, PhD, who works in that very industry, will tackle the topic head-on at this Thursday’s 6:15 p.m. dinner meeting at Quigley’s.

It might be a perfect time to invite a non-Rotarian to take in the program, as well as a perfect time for those SRC members we seldom see to join us for what promises to be an informative program.

The process hasn’t changed. Simply let dinner coordinator Debbie Brown (mdbrown@nycap.rr.com) know no later than this Tuesday evening if you plan to attend, and she’ll be sure we have enough seating and a bountiful buffet. The menu calls for a roast turkey entree plus all the trimmings such as an antipasto salad, chef’s choice of side dishes, bread, dessert, and beverages. And, course, the cash bar at Quigley’s is always available.

Here’s who already has signed up to attend:

While they may not be household names or be celebrated by the news media, they are among the superstars of Rotary International.

Rotarians Dr. Geetha Jayaram of Maryland, Marie-Irène Richmond-Ahoua of the Ivory Coast, and Danielle De La Fuente of California were honored at the recent World Bank conclave in Washington, DC, for their commitment to improving lives through innovative humanitarian projects.
